I've never heard of that procedure but sure hope it works well for you. Will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. I have a lot of back problems from rolling a tractor over on me 5 years ago. Two of the cart ledges are completely crushed, letting bone to bone contact at wrong positions, and it lets me know real quick. I was joking with my doctor and said, just hold there a minute and I'll go down to the hardware and get some of that expanding foam for you to shoot in there. He said, you think thats funny, but, they actually have a foam like that now, and are starting to use it in certain instances. In your case, within 10 years you could get relief exactly that way. He said they are using it in some joints now, but have not tried it in backs yet because of the added spinal cord and nerves there that they have to be so careful with. Anyhow, good luck with your procedure and hope it works for you.
