Lets try this again:
Kk,

Welcome to the forum again and glad to see you getting so much help or at least having a chance to talk out some of your concerns.

After 9 doctors opinions, I was never asked to have a discogram. It was very obvious that my L5-S1 disc was totaled. However the disc above looked really good and healthy. All agreed on that. I had an EEG for on my nerves

I had leg pain and stenosis, nerve impingement. I was told the longer I wait the more chances of permanent nerve damage to the nerves. Also because I was so collapsed I was told that waiting too long could make it so I was not considered a good ADR candidate anymore. I waited 10 months from my accident, and feel the nerve pain in my leg is so much better from the decompression provided to my spine with ADR. It takes nerves awhile to regenerate and I am hopeful that I will have saved my nerve by not waiting so long.

I agree that you should get a second opinion and maybe a few more if you can. Good luck with your insurance give it to them!
