Default 14 years

it's been a long time since I've been on this site. I had my 2 level ADR surgery in 2002. I was the 2nd person to get 2 prodiscs under the trials here in California. I am at 14 years and counting! 12 of them pain free, the 1st 2yrs after surgery were a bit rough, it took me that long to fully heal. it has been an incredible experience and glad I decided to put my faith in my surgeons hands. the hospital & PT staff treated me like a king. all in all I would do it again in a heartbeat. I hope this helps you make a decision if you are contemplating back surgery, there isn't always a positive outcome, you need to be aware of this, do your homework, check it out, get involved & educate yourself on all the possibilities, it's your body, you have the right to know......
