Does anyone have any experience with Dr Diwan & Dr Gorman from the Spinal Clinic at St George Hospital in Kogarah ?? Dr Gorman has placed me on 20mcg of NORSPAN and it's better than the tramadol that my GP had me on, but, it's still very painful. I have read that the max for NORSPAN is 40mcg (2 x 20mcg). Is anyone else currently on 40mcg of NORSPAN ??

I have severe disc deformation (bulging) on L4/L5 & L5/S1.

Dr Diwan wants me to wait for him to bring out some new technology from Germany which will fuse L4/L5/S1, but, still allow movement between L4/L5.

Has anyone heard of this new technology ???
