Well, as far as the questions regarding what happened, I am not too sure. I have always been a very active person from Horseback riding to volleyball.
The only instance I can think of when I could have severely injured my back was when I was about 11 and had a horseback riding accident.
The horse spooked, causing the saddle to flip under the belly, and I ended up falling right on my tail bone.
I have been rear ended, which I believe is what caused this 'flare' up I have for over the past year. Cortisone shots only worked for about a month.
I had looked into going oversea's, my main concern with that is, If I go, and come back to the states. What happens if something fails? Or the ADR is defective? My insurance will not cover any injuries after a "Foreign" surgery.
I have found a Dr in my area who performs a "hybrid" procedure. I am nervous, yet excited.
I am very thankful for everyone advice, and support! I am beyond happy I found these forums.
