Experiences with Artificial Disc Replacement
 
Has anyone had experience with ADR, specifically with the Stenum hospital in Bremen, Germany?

I know of four women who have had the operation this year, and the results are amazing. Apparently most of their patients are American, and I'm only the sixth or seventh Canadian who is looking at having it done.

I have heard nothing but wonderful things about them, and am trying to get funding from our Provincial Medical insurance board to go, but I haven't found any doctors here that know anything about it, and therefore will not recommend it.

Thanks, and nice to meet everyone.
