I am curious if this can be done on someone with osteoporosis which I have. I consulted supposedly one of the best spine surgeons in the country at Cedars-Sinai and he told me I should not have surgery because of my osteoporosis. I have to do something I have the disc that's completely gone now after decompression surgery and tingling and twitching in my left foot. Walking is very painful. I guess I'm going to call Dr steinmetzs office and find out if this can be done on someone with osteoporosis.
