Matt My son in law (retired Army) is doing the same. From what he says, the procedure is not tomorrow but on the horizon and if successful will be a god send to those who suffer.Full flexibility and no pain. As I understand the procedure, it should pass the FAA medical with flying colors. I damaged some disks when I ejected but so far have been able to work around the pain. At my age it is probable that I will pass before the back gets so bad I have to do something. Would even consider going on morphine for the short time I have left vs the operation, if push comes to shove and I develop chronic heavy pain.I do be careful with my back however. Just the thought of an e-seat ride makes my back hurt! Glad that you survived it, that's the important part. Matt |
