Sue, Disc Replacement, March/Nov 2005, L3-4 L4-5 L5-S1
My first surgery in March of 2005 was so successful that I felt brand new! My reason for a second surgery was, I felt so great after the first disc replacement in March, that I went too fast and pushed my new back to riding three hours a day at six weeks post-op. I indured another substantial injury to my lumbar region very soon after my first surgery, it was my fault because I didn't go slow. So, I had a new MRI taken, showing that my L3/4 and my L5/S1 had DDD and I had lost substantial disc height at both of these levels. So, I sent my MRI off to Germany again and after the Doctor's conferred, I was again off to Germany. I had these levels replaced with the new Maverick. I am so thrilled with my progress. Thank you so much to Jim, Malte, Dr. Zechel, Dr. Ritter-Lang and all the others responsible for taking such great care of me and giving me a third chance. I want to tell everyone that will listen about the Disc Replacement options that are available to them. I promise to not overdo it again, and take it slow.
