I agree Joan P, it is very good to hear both good and bad outcomes in order to make an informed decision. Going into the procedure thinking it is a miracle cure is not good. We all hope for the stopping of disease progression but that may not always happen. Please keep posting if you did not have po...

This totally makes sense, some of us are genetically connected to having bad veins and some of us have had spinal injuries that cause pressure on our veins from the spine.
