2nd post: Anyone out there with successful 3 level cervical ADR? Getting desperate.

[don_wagner]

Ringo, I felt your desperation when conservative treatments and strong medications stopped working. All this on top of the fact that I was about to lose my job and hence my health insurance. It was an absolutely awful period, however I prayed, and I prayed allot. I was referred to another doctor and his treatment helped me a great deal. Although much pain remained, it was the first time I felt hopes and didn't feel rushed to make a decision.

I am in the process of trying to get a second treatment from the pain management specialist.

However, I continue to look for an affordable, non-fusion treatment, without sacrificing quality. It is difficult finding accurate cost data about well qualified surgeons aside from two, allegedly top dollar but, well know surgeons practicing in Germany.

It would be much easier and helpful on this site if someone could create a record of the cost of their surgery’s, who did it, where it was done, and the outcome.

I hope you find what you need.

there is the surgical outcome part of the forum to check out surgeries. I don't know if people put the cost or not but since surgeries probably aren't the same and it seems many were done quite some time ago costs are likely different. People may have put the cost down.. don't know as I've not looked at that part of the forum for some time as it's been nearly 7 years since I was considering a 3rd spine surgery.
