Update on mystery clinical trial / surgery
 

I was told they would have definite info for me by the end of last year on the clinical trial. No one contacted me, so I contacted them. Bad news - the trial has again been postponed. From Sept 2006, to March 2007, to now sometime in the Fall 2007. Good news - they gave me a website, but it is VERY vague. spinalrestoration.com

It talks of early intervention, so I am not sure it would have helped me after all I have been through in 5 years, but, we will never know.

SO, I guess I WILL NOT be trying this clinical trial procedure before going to Germany in May for a two level ADR above my existing one. Kind of depressing because I thought this was my last chance at possibly being able to avoid such a major second surgery. On the other hand, maybe it was meant to be this way and now we can make our arrangements early, instead of waiting to see if it worked first.
