Ali, I ditto everything Dale said. You owe it to yourself to receive some more opinions by doc's. Hang in there. His is only one opinion.

Hi Ali

I agree with Cindy And Dale. If your going to have one level done and other levels are pain generators I would do all Levels At once.

I am also looking at several levels with Dr B in Germany and sitting on the fence

Best Wishes

Gil
