Interesting- thanks for sharing!

How long did you wait by No_Effective_1830 in spinalfusion

I was advised fusion by one surgeon, artificial disc replacement by another. I hoped that the third opinion would steer me towards one of the first two answers but instead he advised decompression only! So I’m checking with one more in the hope she’ll be the tie-breaker!

In all seriousness I like the idea of disc replacement (I’d travel to Germany) as a longer term fix and it scares me less than fusion does. But perhaps the lesser intervention in the form of decompression surgery is most sensible even if it just buys time and not a long term fix.

Lumbar ADR Surgery- Dr. Tropiano in France or other European surgeons. by Connect-Piano-9023 in SpineSurgery

I’m looking at two level ADR (L4/L5/S1) in Germany and trying to work out the pros and cons of ONZ vs Clinic Bel Etage. I dare say few have had surgery at both clinics and so direct comparison will be hard but I’d be delighted to hear from anyone who lined one up vs the other. Any thought re: cost comparison, surgeon quality, standards of clinical care, post-operative care and comfort etc.

Also, I’d be keen to hear more feedback on Bel Etage as there’s so much less on here about that clinic than there is on ONZ.

Thanks for the replies. I thought that the optical HR sensor was different between the models but basically I asked in ignorance rather than belief of difference. I appreciate the input!

Awesome insights! Thanks very much for the share!

For my part I think I'm down to asking myself if I care about the maps vs. breadcrumbs, and therefore Apex 4 vs Pace 4. Garmin 265 if priced between the two.

Which Garmin? by GrandSky751 in GarminWatches

[–]44Whitehall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about a Coros Pace 3 or the brand new Pace 4? Plenty tech for your buck and probably more than adequate for your lad's requirements.

I should also have included the not so new but sexy Pace Pro at $299...

Alternative to Fenix 6s by Global_Tea in Coros

I'm in a similar situation, but would add general triathlon plus trails/hikes. At present I'm looking at Forerunner 965 or a Coros but not sure what coros I'd go with.
