Of the several doctors who evaluated me pre-surgery, he was the only one who mentioned that he thought my facets were a primary pain generator.  I saw where he was trained for ADR shortly after it received approval here in the states.

 He's under my plan but in the same office as my current surgeon, I wonder if that does make a difference or not...
