Dallaskibby and Gloria,

Thanks for the information Dallas but I am with Gloria here. I do not necessarily believe in the minimally invasive procedures. And I did question my husband's PM the other day. He DID say after all my questions, that it would probably be disectomy with fusion which I am glad of for STABILITY reasons. I may have misunderstood him in the beginning when he mentioned Laminectomy but this time around he said BOTH. So, he has to meet with the OSS next...that is after his follow up with his PM. And we are sticking with the Indiana Spine Group because Dr. Sasso is one excellent OSS...hubby will be in good hands with him if and when surgery is recommended. Thanks again.
