Fusions are rarely a good thing. The should have been done away with 50 years ago. Sadly medicine is a for profit thing and ADRs simply work too well although they are not perfect.

Ask yourself what disease has medical science cure in the past 50 years.

A great solution is the Neo Disk. It came out in 2004 but it is still awaiting FDA approval in spite of the fact that it and the M6 ADR have been used with great success in the civilized world.

Congress controls what the FDA does and corporations like medical corporations control congress. You can blame your suffering on some bought and sold pack of thieves in DC.

Our bodies do not belong to the government and the corporations that own it. We should be allowed to have medical treatment that in our judgement we think is best based on the advice or our doctors.

Sorry for the rant but this is the truth.

EAT THE RICH!

I"m glad you said rare for fusions as i am one who has been extremely helped by lots of them . I am basically fused or in the process of from c4 thru L2. I am having lumbar pain know, but do to different issues. My thoracic spine was a mess and a few discs were horribly painful . the horrible pain is gone, unfortunately i had a surgeon who accidentally damaged my phrenic nerve so i had to trade in pain for low lung function.,
But i have not been a candidate for ADR do to low bone density.
