I am with you...I would go for the bone stimualtor...I am shocked that your doc with his reputation did not use a stimulator...I am not convinced that I am fused...I have been told to ask now for a myleogram with contrast ....that will determine fusion...Other than that the only other way is to go in with a knife...no thank you...

I think too that I might start at a year with all new surgeons....Just might go with local guys or Philly guys ...Have not decided yet...I might try Cammissa too...His name keeps popping up
