Another Newbe!

Mark,
Sorry I can't make Manhattan Beach.
Terry, I am trying to get my act together and make an educated best guess at my next step. It is nice to be here.
I went to a Dr. today who said cysts were not an issue? He did say that he would like to try to take out the prodiscs. He has taken out about 5. He sent me to his vascular surgeon who also said not a problem to go in again from front. I am leaning toward this. I need to get my life back and I think a fusion (first removing the discs) would be great if they can do this. I am ready to sign up and stop running around to different doctors. Maybe I should get one more opinion?
Anyway this is the latest of the news. Big decisions in the next few weeks.
Phylly
