The UW (Re: Sam's back injury update!)

[Guest guest]

Are they wanting to do a diskectomy a fusion or what? I have had a lumbar

laminectomy, but not a fusion. The laminectomy was just to reach my spinal cord.

I always tell people try to make sure that surgery is your last resort.

Since I am on the East Coast I know nothing about them, but good luck!!!

But I don't know much about the surgeons. Anyone have experience with the UW and

spine surgery?
