I am one of the disasters at Stenum. It breaks my heart that this is still going on. For me, the good thing is that they installed the discs properly. The bad things were that they cut my iliac vein and that they did not decompress any of the nerves by opening the foramen. However, I really don't see how they could have done this from the anterior. I ended up having posterior decompressions that freed the nerves successfully.
