Hi Rosedee

I wondered how you were as it's so long since you posted anywhere though admittedly I took a break from most of the forums for a while so hence I hadn't realised you'd had the ADR. I think last time we chatted it was something still in the planning?

I'm really sorry that it hasn't worked out for you & I can only hope that you get some answers really soon. As much as you may have to wait I do think you should let Dr Z know, you never know he may surprise you with a quick reply especially if you say it's urgent. I wonder if the EDS plays any part in your lack of relief?

I'm interested to learn anything you can share about Facet Replacements, I assume you mean about them being available/trialled here in the UK?

I too am still in a big mess but I now have a new Neuro Spine Surgeon who seems very on the ball. I've just had a lumber & cervical MRI ~ my neck has now also become a problem! I had some facet injections almost 2 weeks ago & all they've done is flared everything up even worse yet according to xray & the fluoroscope they're in a BIG mess with the arthritis. There is also a question over whether my ADR has moved slightly. I'm now waiting to go for CT & Myelogram then another Discogram. Once everything has been done then we can decide which surgery will be the best to go for. Anyway, I'm rambling about me!!

I really hope that you can get some answers soon. Not sure if you still have my email? I lost yours when my laptop threw a wobbly at xmas!!

Take care & feel free to contact me anytime
