    Default Considering L5/S1 M6-L with Dr. Boeree

    Hi all,

    I am considering getting a Spinal Kinetics M6-L with Dr. Boeree in the UK. I have found this site to be highly informative as I try to get everything figured out from costs to recovery etc. If anyone has any info they'd like to share, I'd welcome it and I'll be scouring the forum for info too as I'm sure there is a lot here.

    Thanks
    4/2009 L5/S1 internal disc tear
    2/2010 MRI revealed right sided L5/S1 herniation and DDD
    2010 -2.5 months PT, little to no improvement, 4 epidural steroid injections mixed results
    1/2011 MRI revealed no change in herniation size
    2/2011 L5/S1 microdiscectomy, disc found to have a very large tear
    5/25/2011 MRI revealed re-herniated small disc fragment
    8/3/2011 L5-S1 ADR using Spinal Kinetics M6-L performed by Mr. Nick Boeree in England, feeling much better finally!

    When I looked at the bottom of your posts there were several links to posts about surgery with Dr. Boree. Somewhere on here there is also a list of the costs of total surgery for several different surgeons. You'll find lots of information on this site. Good luck in your research.
    Diagnosis:
    Degenerative disc disease throughout spine
    Generalized disc bulging with mild narrowing of thecal sac in L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1.
    Moderate spinal stenosis L4-L5
    Foraminal narrowing
    Recent compression Fx at T10,T11.
    Treatment:
    Spinal decompression 2007
    Cortisone injection in lower back in 2010
    Relieved of pain for now
    Hope for ADR
