Hi TucsonGrandma,
I just signed up on this forum to contact you. I live in Tucson also. Your post was in 2010 and it is now 2015. First I was wondering how you are doing 5 years later? Also, I am in the process of getting Neurosurgeon Opinions on Fusing my L4-L5. I have had 2 opinions so far. One said an ALIF is what I need and the other said a TLIF is what I need. I have Anterolisthesis. I don't know what grade slip, but I do know my slip is 9mm. I was hoping you can give some advice on these Tucson doctors, have you found a good surgeon? Should I go up to Pheonix and ask at the Mayo Clinic? Any advice would be appreciated, as I, like everyone else, is terrified and making this decision.
Thank you
