Hello, I find it sad that people stop here for help and nobody is around,,, someone should be working these forums with general knowlege to at least point them in the right direction...  Like Moni2, nobody has responded in 10 days... sorry but thats feels like forever when you or your loved one is in pain and you are desperately looking for an answer on websites...

Your husbands problem is right up the   Laser Spine Institutes  alley... outpatient surgery... I had that and more done there...  

Also read my profile to learn more...

Good luck...

I am sorry I haven't responded to your question, but I have no idea what this is.  I found out today, however;  I am having an mri to be checked for the same disease!  I am going to research this further.  Sorry I can't be any more help!
I also think that other people do not respond when they do not know the answer, or what a disease is.  My understanding from what I read, is no one on here are doctors, can only give you advice or maybe what they have gone through with their situations.  
Hopefully someone with general knowledge will respond.  
I also do not think people are "working these forums", but can give advice.
God Bless,
Rosebud
