My wife has endured 17 months of dibillitating pain from a torn L5 S1, and internal disc derangement. A neurosurgeon promised no relief if he were to remove the disc and fuse, but said he would do it. Now, insurance is saying it is not medically necessay, and we are in a different battle.
So we find ourselves pondering if fusion is in fact the best option. Any feedback as to why one feels the SCS may be a better choice, or perhaps even a pain pump. She is totally disable and can walk in short distances, but cannot sit for the pain. God bless, Mark K. |
