Thanks. I emailed all of these tests to Dr. Bitan early this week, along with Bone Density (which said I had the bones of someone in the early 20s...yippee...half my age ;-) ), and every other piece of medical paperwork I overturned in my files! I'm hoping since this is very mild arthritis that it won't be a problem. He was going to put the ADR in the C4/5 with fusion in the 5/6.

So it sounds like I am going to still have the facet block to see if they are causing the pain...but that should be less of a chance since the arthritis is so mild, I hope.

Thanks for the explanations...at least I know now why my big toe throbs in bad weather
