Thumbs up 2 level prodisc trials surgery 2002

hi Dan:
I am a 2 level prodisc trials patient from southern california,
mine was done by Dr. Rick Delamarter in July 2002. I had a slow
recovery, but am and have been pain free for more than several
years, although i do have to pinch myself sometimes to see if its
real or not, i still can't believe i don't have any chronic back,leg or butt pain
that i suffered with for over 30 yrs.
this has been a truely amazing experience so far!!
i drive a stick shift car daily ( i could not before prodisc
I golf, i am on a bowling league (i could not do before prodisc
i do anything i want, although i do limit the amount of weight i lift.
feel free to email m for further questions
Good Luck in your recovery, and listen to what your body is telling you!!
