I had MILD last October and the doctor said he knew it would work. My PCP warned me that MILD is a cash cow for practitioners and the research was funded by Vertos. I went ahead anyway because, as all sufferers of back issues know, I wanted to believe there was a safe fix. It did not work. I had my procedure done at Univ. of Penn. After, this totally unsuccessful procedure I was unable to contact the doctor until I jumped through many hoops. Prior to the procedure he said he would be with me for the long haul. I would really like to find a knowledgeable doctor who would provide honest answers to my questions and who doesn't have a financial incentive. I'm looking for evidence based solutions or in lieu of that just the facts.
