Bravo Gloria! Very well said! And I am in full agreement.

I think what people are looking for again, is something simplistic that may or may not solve their problem. But they are NOT thinking of STABILITY...or so it seems. As you know I pretty much hang out at BT and I do so because SOME of the posts here are just complete voodoo in my opinion. But I know you are a "seasoned veteran". So, please folks...listen to Gloria because she knows what she is talking about. And I hear ya Gloria, my NS is only a call away as well. As a matter of fact my own spinal PM had his fusions done by my NS as well. Now that tells me a lot! You know when a spinal pain management doctor has cervical fusions done by a particular NS, he has done his homework!
