Linda,
I am so glad that you are almost pain free. Did you need to have a discogram done before the sealant to diagnose what stage you disc was in? This seems like such a promising procedure, i hope that other doctors start doing it. Is it out of trials yet? Phyllis

Hi,
No, it is not out of trials yet, but FDA has given Dr. Pauza the go ahead to do some outside of the trial protocol. Mine was done outside the trial. Geoff, Fibrin is a sealant that is injected into a torn disk and it seals or glues it back together and raises the disk height back up to normal. Google Spinal Restoration or Kevin Pauza, M.D. and you will be able to read a little bit more about it. Best wishes, Linda

Phylly,
I forgot to say, yes, I did have to have a discogram done. In addition to the normal discogram I had a FAD (Functional Anesthetic Discogram) done to determine that L3/4 was my problem. Best wishes on your recovery! Linda
