My motivation was being diagnosed with DDD with...
WORTH IT$8,300
My motivation was being diagnosed with DDD with Arthritis in my lumbar spine. My greatest dedication was making myself useful to my creator n family. After reaching out to 2 other surgeon n unseen obstacles. I was led to Dr Cozart. The first day I had a peace within my spirit. Dr.Cozart was very passionate, informative, n professional, along with his Wife. I wouldn't change the experience for ne thing in the world. I couldn't ask for anything better. If that wasn't enough I was blessed to be the first cosmetic patient to receive a extended pain med normally given to reconstruction patients. I can guarantee without it, I wouldn't be able to walk upright the next day. I'm beyond pleased. May God continue to bless his practice amber staff

DDD is when you're disc are or have deteriorated due to excessive repetitive use, everyday wear n tear, or the diminishing is spinal fluid. My lumbar disc L4-5, are herniated. Fighting to receive authorizations for treatment all of 2014, I was finally approved 2015. I received a years worth of injections in a month. They never set in. I was in worse pain after a month or so. My last MRI revealed the spine condition was the same except my disc were black w/arthritis. It had spread to my scarolliac joint. I had so much pain I could barely stand to lean over to brush my teeth. One morning I was hurting so bad, I thought to myself lift up my lower belly. I noticed the pain in my joint had lifted. I determined then if God ever blessed me to afford it I was going to do it. With no idea I would be blessed in such a way. God used a situation that looked bad to work for my good. When I awoke from the procedure I was free of pain. I'm 3 weeks post. I haven't woke up without pain in 5 years. I give God all the glory he deserves

Impressions
With joy I arose. Only to be accompanied by sorrow. I stood in the mirror as my eyes filled with tears n and ran entertainingly down my cheeks. I sobbed as I looked at the woman starring back at me in the mirror. My whole frame shook with pain as I looked at a body I didn't recognize. A body with no visual voice or creativity to make me understand why I'd done what I did. While I stood there in the spirit of sorrow, my mind was redirected. As my eyes scroll over my body (waist widen, bruised, n filled with fluid), I begin to deny it was me. My choice, my decision, n ultimately my faith, that yield these results. I took courage and looked again. I realized my belly though swollen was revealing a tremendously healed belly button I hadn't seen in 21yrs. The swelling had subsided to the place where I could see the light at the end of my tunnel. My incision was with perfect symmetry n was healing remarkably fast. My daughter saw me and said you're just swoll, Ma. Often we ask God for one thing with underlining possiblities. I began to thank n praise God for my life, health, n strength. It's been 5 years since I've awaking without back pain from the deterioration of my spine. I prayed that God would fulfill his word in my life and redefine, reposition, reestablish me. After 19.5 years of marriage, walking away with my daughters, grand, and sanity, by faith I'm proceeding forward. This was my next leap of faith in hopes of my strength being restored that I might rebuild our lives. Lastly, after running a 99.9- 101.4 temp, I called my Surgeon late last evening. He and his beautiful wife came a assisted me after running an hour behind. The scripture says give tribute n honor whereally it's due. I'm deeply grateful

I also can feel the complete absent of they portion of my body. Its like I can feel every nerve at work. The hypersensitivity is indescribable. My internal healing is coming along great.
