  • @hydrants920 i would like to ask if you did go ahead and have that L5 S1 TDR?. If so how did it work for you.im haveing big problems with my back ive been throught many surgeys i have been fused at the L1 L3 and now the have found the L5 LS IS POSSITIVE with the dicrogram .the pain is increasing to the point i dont get out of bed most days so knowing if this helped you may give me more incentive to push for the TDR . THANKS IN ADVANCE Hope all is well

  • Hey there,

    I know it's many years down the track now since your Operation,so I'm wondering how your feeling pain wise,and how mobile and free for impulse, strength based movement especially in sports your are.

    Hope your feeling great as I'm researching wether or not to get this done!

    Many thanks,

    Vn

  • I was also wondering where you had your surgery and how you felt the staff was? Thanks for taking the time to put your story out there.

  • I'd love to be able to walk that distance. I was walking the beach Monday and almost didn't make it back home. I have been in pain mgmt for 8 yrs and I need a 2-level surgery at my L4/L5, L5/S1. I understand I won't be able to have it done in the States. Did you go to the Stenum Hospital in Germany or were you able to get your surgery done here since it was a 1-level surgery? I would love to discuss this with you. Thx so much for sharing your recovery progress! It gives me much hope. :-)

  • Why won't they do this op in Britain-maybe they do but my doctor says it years away before I could get an op like this on my lower back

  • Thanks for your video. Did you have the surgery in the States or Germany? I appreciatae your assistance! Kristina

  • I hope all are still going good and that you are getting better and better to the point you feel you are getting your original life back :) . Please keep updating us about your condition, it is really informative to see someone that is not into the "money business" giving honest info.

    I am now 3 years with L4-L5 degeneration and bulge, have tried many things with no success and I am starting to look at ADR. Thanks again man, hope you get totally well!

  • I have a few questions So if you can get back to me that would be great. I'm looking at a T.D.R surgery around July 25th. L5-S1 disk. I would love to talk to you about it.
