<t>Please please let me know what you guys do regarding your fusion. I am becoming more and more tempted to proceed with it. I'm just scared and dreading waking up in really bad pain again. I'm so tired of hurting as is though that sometimes I wonder why not go for it. I hate to sound flippant about...

Dr. Nath is doing a clinic in Dallas on Saturday morning. I was accepted as a candidate for whatever he does. I am the only adult...the rest are children. Has anyone ever been to one of these in their area? Just wondering what to expect. Thanks. Suzanne Sommer
