dynamic stabiliztion

[shoosh]

Hi everyone,

I was suppose to have dynamic stabiliztion with Isobar on the 20th, but the WC insurance is not approving it because its not FDA approved.

I am In so much pain all the time and the meds are not helping that much.
I was approved for a fusion, i dont know if i should have the fusion done.

Please Help.

Hi Shoosh,

I so sorry that you are in sooo much pain!!! Please hang in there and look at ALL of your options before coming to a final decision. I truely believe knowledge is power - you have to be your own advocate to make the best possible choice.

After having lived a life in chronic pain for about 3 years or so, I would highly suggest getting in with pain management and perhaps a medication treatment regimen to manage the symptoms better - this will enable to take some more time in researching all of your options. You are very young and have a lot of life ahead of you. Make sure this is the best possible decision you can make with the technology that is available.

Shoosh, if you could - please elaborate more on what the docs are saying is wrong with your spine....

Sy,
Poncho
