Just a thought - Mark, help me out here.

A neurologisst in Germany, Dr. ? is beyond thorough and is ususally able to find the source of your back pain with incredible accuracy. Unless you're sure your facets are your problem, it might be worth the plane ticket. Mark can hook you up with him.

Mark, it might be a good time to post some of his incredible diagnosis.

This is a topic of interest to me too. I have been worried about the size of the Prodisc-L, and asked my surgeon about it. I have a very small frame. The surgeon said that almost all women, and a good percentage of men take the medium size Prodisc-L, with the remaining men needing the large size. But with having such small bones, I am worried about the sizing. How can two sizes be expected to fit everyone?

Are there studies out there from the Europeans, studying outcomes? I would really be interested in reading them, especially long-term.

I am trying to figure out if I should look to the Germans for my care.

I guess you mean Dr. Baumbach - his pages is Dr. Baumbach - Neurologe . However at least for me he couldn't find any explanations for my nerve pain...
