  • Had casts and fusion in the 50s

    .... and now I am 64, losing heighth and having lots of lower back pain. Does anyone know of a doctor who handles adults with my problems? I live in Northern Virginia outside DC.

    Thanks.

    Hi Barb...

    I've heard that both Timothy Kuklo and William Lauerman treat patients with prior fusions:

      Linda,

      Thanks so much. I have a sister in St. Louis and I live near DC, so both docs are possible.

      Do you live in Racine, WI? My younger brother, Bill Blandford and his wife, Lissy, live there.

        No, never lived in Wisconsin.

        For some reason, the SRS website is listing Kuklo in Washington DC... Not sure what's up there. If you want to go to St. Louis, Keith Bridwell is VERY well known for his treatment of patients with prior fusions.

        Good luck!
