They are going to clean up one disc and fuse another with instumentation. But that is pending the out come of the discogram.
Mind you, I am not in the medical field. I do reconise some of the wording because it is listed in my on medical records. 8-05, Micro laminectomy/disectomy. 10-05 lumbar fusion L5-S1. 2-07 exploritory surgery. 12-07 medical implant, Spinal Cord Stimulator. now receiving SSDI. Jesus died for our sins. Soilders died for our freedom. |
