Hmmm. On my original issue about whether disc herniation with nerve compression disqualifies someone from ADR, Dr. Bitan's website reads,
"The disk involved has to be studied with an MRI and a discogram. The main complaints should be back pain, which eliminates cases of severe spinal stenosis, and acute nerve compression by a herniated nucleus pulposus."
The word "acute" is interesting.
Dave (more confused than ever)
