Sariera,
I hope i spelled your name correctly. Welcome to ISpine.
I am going to try to let you know how to start your new thread.
First go to discussion forums. Then click on the ISpine one , then at the top left corner of the ISpine you will see new thread. Click on that and tell all of us your story.
I have no experience with the doctor you have mentioned, but i have read of him on this forum somewhere. Somebody knows him, you may start 2 threads , one with the Doctors name and the one of your story.
I have had extensive spine surgery and need to update my signature. I just had fusion of L3 and L4 . It takes a while to feel better, but i am improving every week.
YOu will get more answers and input from your own thread (that is what these stories are all called)
