Received further emails from patients suffering from the effects of ADRs which went wrong- just what I needed to hear! One from the very clinic I am considering! In one of the cases it looks as though there were many contra-indicators available before the op but the clinic paid them little or no attention at the point of persuading the patient to go for ADR. How can you be sure that the clinic don’t just have their balance sheet in mind when they advise a client?
Saw for the first time the full consultant radiographer’s report from my Dec 28th MRI scan and it makes depressing reading! Apart from the technical terms which go over my head- what is hypertrophy?- it is clear that my backbone is a mess—distorted with scoliosis, 3 bad disks with the rest going bad! It’s a wonder it works at all! I have sent a copy to Pro-Spine in Germany for their comments asking for their comments on the poor state of my facets and whether that suggests ADR may be inappropriate. It will be interesting to see their reply. The more I question them the more chance they will smell a rat- “We don’t want any of those internet-savvy patients who might give us a bad name!”

Hi Mike, thanks for visiting our spinesupport.org site!
Wow - you must have really bent a few raquets in your time!
I am dying to hear what Pro(Prodisc)Spine has to say. IMHO, your scoliosis, facet degen, and collapsed disc space are all contraindications to ADR.
There's a page in the facet area which has tonns on it.
Cheers,
Matt
