3 Year ADR Update

[Jim M2]

Dan (djscal), Blair, Laura, Dave,

I'm with Laura on waiting. At the 2004 GPN seminar Dr. Yeung reminded us that there wasn't always back surgery and people usually get better. Now with the ADR I'll not fuse naturally so we're a different group. There will always be the motion that hurts the facets. Still at almost 3.5 years post op I continue to improve although at a snail's pace. I'm voluntarily limited in what I can do to keep from flare ups. I feel lousy but I don't have the 24/7 oppressive, distracting, horrible pain that was with me for so long.

Laura, thanks for the concise list of options!

Jim
