Just read your posts and can empathize big time here I have had a nasty last month increase in pain and been in bed for days straight! This waiting and not knowing anything is for the birds!
Every time I get a new opinion it seems that I am more confused than I was to begin with. What started out here as a sort of moderately difficult decision has come to a much more so one. My last MRI showed more deterioration and damage and more facet involvement so now the question for me is do I go ahead and do the combo fusion/adr that the ins would pay partially for? My OSS is concerned about me havin the Charite now, I am consulting with some docs on this to see what I should do. This is very frustrating and I am about ready to throw in the towel and either look at London or Dr B.
Wish the money was just lying around to do so would have been there already WHEW!
Hope that you feel better soon!
