Hey All
Good news W.C has approved surgery with Dr Petinie in Loveland Colorado for Coflex at two levels L4-L5 and L5-S1 not sure how it is connected at L5-S1? Will also install Staxx spacers at both levels not sure how they stay in place? L2-L3 is not in great shape or is L3-L4 but they are not pain generators may never be or may get worse? If and when the other levels go I may need more. This is the best I can do with no finances to go for the big surgery with ADR, I will add more going to soccer to watch junior> Gil

Great news!
Hey Gil,
Congrats on the WC auth for the surgery with the surgeon of your choice and at 2 levels! Look forward to hearing more about it all and hope this surgery will take care of "what ails you" and the rest if and when necessary can be addressed at that point. I was always worried about my disrupted L3 so didn't get L4 and L5S1 taken care of re ADR or hybrid surgery and while I've been pleasantly surprised with autofusion results of L5S1 I do believe L4 is still a problematic level for me. So go for it and best wishes with everything! thanks for keeping us updated!
