Thank you for your response. I appreciate hearing from somebody who has gone through similar issues. Trying for the second opinion and surgery as soon as possible.

You're welcome Bill. I should have mentioned I made a full recover after my fusion. Took about 8 months to get there but as mentioned I didn't have severe leg weakness. I see a post recommending 3 opinions and normally I would agree. In your case with severe paralysis, if the first 2 opinions are basically in agreement I would forego the 3rd opinion unless you can get it very quickly. I don't think it is practical or necessary to get 3 different MRIs. Hopefully Mayo will
come through fast. I
don't know how they
operate but I would
stay on top of them. Hang in there and please do keep us
posted.
