I commend Katie for doing her research. It's important to be assertive in looking out for ourselves and our medical treatment. I second her idea of getting more than one opinion. I got several before making the decision to go overseas to have 4 discs replaced. I am doing well today and pleased with my decision and my recovery. It sounds like you are right on the cusp of needing to decide where to turn to next. I would suggest getting some more opinions and ask about the surrounding discs to know what your decisions may affect in the future.

Hang in there Gil.
