Dr. Keith Bridwell did my first spinal fusion in 1987 T4-L4 here in St Louis, MO. Now I am facing more surgery into my sacrum. According to Dr. Bridwell, I have stenosis of the spine below the fusion and degenerative disc disease below L4. The numbness/tingling in my legs from this is troubling. SO...should I seek a second opinion or just go with this nationally recognized expert in this surgery. Friends are talking chiropractor types of treatment and I am well beyond that, I'm sure.
Thanks
Jean
