3-4 level ADR Lumbar Spine
 
Hi,
I had a 2 level at L4 & L5 ADR 7 years ago and was doing great until I had a bad fall...Now I'm having right butt/back pain...Facet blocks didn't work..Can't sit...
Anyone get 3 level or 4 level ADR??? Thought the most they could do was a 2 level??

Cycle, sorry for the late reply.

I have seen many 3-level lumbar surgeries. I know people who have had them done in the US and overseas.

When a surgeon tells you that three-level ADR's cannot be done, they are not telling the truth. Maybe HE (or she) can't do them. Maybe it's because the risk management department at their hospital won't allow them, or the manufacturer won't allow him to (at his experience level).

Contact me off the forum and I'll point you in the right direction.

All the best,

Mark
