HI Michelle,
I had two ADR's put in and then needed a Revision surgery to take them out and fuse. Everyone said I looked like a great candidate for ADRs. The last surgery was a killer but I am doing well although not totally pain free. My facets also looked great on my MRI but I did have some facet hypertrophy. My original doctor said that this would get better with a double level ADR. You have a hard decision to make but ADR's are not always as wonderful as everyone says. I think getting many opinions is good way to go. I hope that everything goes well for you. Phylly
