ksptds09, WELCOME to the forum!!! Thanks for posting.
I'm curious as to what post-op protocol Dr. Derby was using after the IDET. Some doctors I know who still do IDET have the patients in a brace whenever they are upright for 3 months. (and they are supposed to avoid being vertical whenever possible.)
It's so wonderful to hear of such a complete recovery. While I'm not a big IDET fan, I know several people with your kind of success with it. Whatever works!!!
I wish I’d had a chance for thermal annuloplasty before I started having traditional discectomies back in 2000. While we’ll never know what might have been, I wonder if I’d have so much metal in my back if I’d been able to discover a different path.
Thanks again for posting. Such wonderful success stories are always great to hear. I wish you continued success.
Mark
