Now he is thinking I need a total spinal fusion then a hip replacement. I need to know the best doctor to do the surgery - the stats on my current neurogurgeons and the referrals to scool buddies are not good.
who should I work with, I have a very complex spine?
thank you for any advise. Laurie |
I don't know whre you live to give a doc referral. Let us know where you are. I went to The spine doc in Indianapolis Indiana. This is the guy who puts the race car drivers back together. Let me know if you are in the area
