[Spinal Fusion / Lumbar] daveinaustin's Surgery (L4-S1 Posterior Interspinous Fusion + Plating)

[jamie5136]

This is the very reason I want my ADR removed. I fear micro-movement. Dave, keep us up to date on your recovery.

Justin, in general, not specific to Dave's case, how often would that micro-movement occur, and why? I will have to go back into Dave's signature to remember what exactly he has had done in the past, but I remember a few patients over the years worrying/complaining about movement in the joints when a fusion was done w/o taking out an ADR. Again, I don't remember Dave's situation at all, just wondering in general.

It all goes to help decide on my own choices down the road.

I know this was not an easy decision to move forward with, and I commend you for your determination, steadfastness, and unwavering research abilities to find the solution best for you. It sounds like you are definitely on the right track, and that the doctor found "the problem" of micro-movement and corrected it with this surgical intervention.
