Contemplating ADR in Europe
Hello everyone,
I am a 48 year old male with bulging discs C3/4, C4/5 and cord compression in C5/6 and worst in C6/7. Severe stenosis in C5/6 and C6/7. I am Canadian and ADR is not approved at the levels that I need and my neurosurgeon has recommended a 4-level fusion. I really don't want a 4-level fusion. I have had Ritter-Lang look at my scans and he suggests a 2-level fusion at C5/6 and 6/7 and ADR for C3/4 and C4/5. Clavel in Spain suggests a 3 or 4 level ADR with the C3/4 being optional. I have since added a CT to my list of scans and it shows some ossification on C6 and C7 which may affect the decision on ADR, waiting to hear. For now I am standing pat as my symptoms are not severe as far as pain and balance go but I know I will do something eventually... Any input would be appreciated |
