Default Waiting - for what?

Hi Gil,

After going through my L5/S1 problems I have to say that waiting was not in my best interest. I really wish that I had gone for the fusion 5 months ago when I got my MRI report back which clearly showed little to no disc left. ADR was not an option because of the lack of disc and I was too afraid to have the fusion for fear of nerve damage. I continued to wait making myself live with the pain (it was only back pain 5 months ago) then the neurological stuff hit big time and after two months post-op it still has not resolved itself. I am terrified that I will live with a limp forever from the weakness in my right leg. I have to agree with others who have posted. Gather more opinions, maybe a hybrid fuse L5/S1 and ADR L5/L4. But get after it and I wish you well!!
