I am wondering if anyone has had 3 artificial discs implanted in lurabar region? I had three replaced 17 months ago in Europe, L3 through S1. I was making slow progress until two months back when things took a few steps backward. I am in lots of pain, cannot drive or sit without lots of pain although I can walk. I was a better candidate for ADR because my degenerated disc pain did not indicate a mechanical malfunction, i.e. one that would have been better treated by fusion.

I am very concerned about the long term healing and the prospects of long term pain that is now greater or equal to the pain that required the surgery to begin with. I see the posts with single level ADR and cervical multi-discs. Anyone have any information on mulit-level lurabar ADR?

Thanks, Scott19
