That was a great video. I'm from Rockford Il, which is west of ChicAGO by about 60 miles, and it would be great to find a doc that does it in town. Problem is, I haven't been able to locate one in town yet. I did go to see Harel deutsch at rush hospital, and he recommended a charite at L5s1. I have procrastinated with him, because after one visit he was ready to do an operation already, and when asked about the positive discography on l4-l5, he replied that if it bothers me afterwards, he could always fuse it then. That advice didn't sit well for some reason
![]() Brian, After seeing how well you're doing, it sure makes me think artificial disc is the way to go. What type did you get and at what level? |

I would have run away from that situation too! Do you have the means to come west? There are great guys in LA--Delamarter and Regan I've heard. I haven't seen or spoken to either one but others on these boards have treated with them.

Well, I never really did a "proper" cartwheel (cuz I'm a guy) girls do them perfectly and guys just do them looking more like a rolling chimpanzee.
I'm looking forward to my next check-up so I can get on my own PT routine and ease back into real range of motion type things..I will be back to skiing this year, jars, twists and all. I can tell already. I'll be thinking of the right kind of "motion" video for my update next week. Sorry you gotta go to Germany, Brian |
