I really appreciate everyones sincerity in this matter. In the recent months I've had an extremely hard time with the insurance company and my employer. Both my doctor and I have tried to convince them that if I had the adr I would be able to return to work much quicker, but they just dont seem to wanna pay for it. My work doesn't have a light duty program, so I don't know what the consequences of that will be. My doctor tells me that if I have fusion at this age that there is a good possiblity of future surgery down the road. I have been in disabling pain for months, have tried every conservative treatment there is and still can't get any release, so I guess I am going to go with the fusion.
