Help, Need opinions
I met with an orthopedic spine Dr. yesterday in my area who I had seen before my ADR's and I liked him a lot, He wants to try to take out my Prodiscs. I met with his vascular guy who said "NO problem". I know that fusing over the discs is much easier. Should I risk taking out the discs? I hate the idea of fusing over them especially with all the problems I have. I would love any opinions on this. THIS IS A HUGE SURGERY!
