Arabella,
I too have the problem sleeping, not so much falling asleep until here recently, but staying asleep. I wake up and my back aches terribly and I have to try to find a position that doesn't kill it. But then I'm waking up the rest of the night.
I'm 30 and hope that I get to do ADR, I don't care what they say about my age, but I know I'm too young to get a fusion!!!! It seems like ADR would be a better choice for us than us having to live with fusion the rest of our life and having to have surgery on the other closer discs later.
