To Laura B

Sorry, this placed my reply at the end, I had to log in to reply.

You are going to Germany, Dr Bierstadt?
This is with the German Spine Institute, how long did it take to get a reply from them, how much information did you send them, and what did they tell you about cost?, and did they file with your insurance company?

Sorry for all the questions, I have 3 discs in particular that are bad, L5-S1 is the worst, I don't really have a disc, and this has really strained the rest of the lower back, had a blow out at L2-3, and this was cleaned up a bit, with a discectomy, but it still aches and is now compromised.

Just had an Epidural, L4-5 and L5-S1, this hurt so bad (when the fluid from the epidural hit the L5-S1), that I could not breathe for a few seconds, there is NO way, I will have a Discogram.

Not going to happen, did you have a discogram?

Again, Sorry for all the questions.
