I'm sorry that you are having problems with your ADR. I have a fusion at the L4-5 and I must say you really won't notice it, at least I didn't. I had no pain 13 weeks post op and most likely would of been back to work if it wasn't for a bonehead PT overstreching me and tearing soft tissue. Now two years later I' m finally getting back to normal thanks to prolotherapy.


I get shots every 4-6 weeks, under my doctors protocal. He says when you get shots close to one another the shots prior are less effective. If the shots help your pain then maybe the ADR isn't the problem, just something to think about. Here is a doctor in LA that does Prolotherapy, he looks to be well up on the most natural treatments. I have never been to him, just found him by poking around the net. I like to read and learn about the different treatments out there.Best regards, John.

No worries, Blair. Do you have prolographic memory?
