Hi Dave,
I'm sorry to hear you're back where you started and I always wondered the same thing with what I think of as "band aid" procedures. I think it's great that they work for some people, but in most cases I can't figure out how they could even remotely be a long term fix.
I'm not sure I'm qualified to say whether or not you're a candidate, but I'm curious what kind of investigations have you done that lead you to say you're not an ADR candidate? Have you gotten opinions from several ADR surgeons?
