@marcd2k Mark, I'm not sure that I can sit on a plane that long, My spinal surgeon suggested 3 spinal fusions at L2,L3 and L4. Three of my doctors said not to do such procedure. It would make matters worse. I'm waiting for a call from a neurosurgon that I saw years ago. when my condition was not as bad.
He suggested sticking with my pain specialist who has tried ten procedures on me to relieve the pain with no luck. Currently taking Norco but the dose isn't doing it anymore, as my spine gets worse. If I don't hear from his office today, I will give them a call. I requested an appointment on line last Thursday.
