A degenerative disc disease had left Kenneth in severe pain in his lower back and legs. Unable to remain standing for any length of time or walk for longer than five minutes, his activities grew more and more limited. He had been to see several neurosurgeons and two possible interventions had been recommended. Kenneth had decided on one of them but was feeling increasingly uneasy and wondered if he was making the right decision.
Best Doctors sent his case to a top orthopaedic surgeon specialising in spinal surgery, who confirmed that Kenneth was definitely a good candidate for such an intervention.
The Best Doctors report contained an in-depth discussion as to the benefits and drawbacks of various approaches to be adopted, which Kenneth could discuss with his surgeon, before he proceeded with the operation.
