problem for prior pt's with fusions
we can't get accepted into any trials! Even though combination of fusion and adr have been done overseas with great sucess. The US based trials don't want to risk us prior fusion patients messing with their trail outcomes.  (
I had not heard of the Neo; I will want to read more about that too. I have seen the M6; it looks so far advanced!
