Ask your surgeon about the Maverick Procedure. About 7 years ago I had four titanium discs inserted in my spine. They cut a 22 cm cut in abdomen, separate the internal organs, remove damage discs, replace with Titanium & Nylon disc that over eight weeks fuses to the vertebrae, giving full recovery & mobility. I had spent periods of months confined to bed, unable to walk. The surgery started at 2pm on a Friday and finished 10pm that night, they had me walking at 10am, the following morning.
After surgery, I had to lay face down at home, with nurse home visit and my helpful wife, for eight weeks. Not easy.
I had a Neuro spinal Surgeon, dr Paul Bannon, the second in Australia, filmed live to 3 Universities, one Sydney & two In the US. The US surgeon/inventor of the procedure was present.
I was told fusion was my only option, but waited and this was a new procedure then.
PM me and I will call you or email further details.
There is a whole lot more detail, but it was worth it, now I can sit on a camping rug, walk, cross my legs, etc, still a little pain, but nothing, compared to the pain I endured for eight years after work accident. Doug
