I have failed back surgery syndrome (fbss) after 3 lumbar surgeries. I've been through all the conventional pain mgmt treatments (ESI's, RFA's, etc), and got no relief. So now I'm going to see a physiatrist who does the Discseel procedure, which supposedly helps reinforce your vertebral discs. It's not covered by insurance or Medicare, and it's not cheap, but like they say... Your money or your life! Has anyone else tried this procedure?
