What should I expect?

[Steve]

At age 10 my battle with Spinal AVM began. I under went veriouus procedures and opertions,(including back surgery)at Duke Medical. Over the course of 18 years I have lived virtualy a normal life, with the day to day stuggles assoicated with living.

I'm now 28 and have suffered a AVM relapse of shorts. Suffering from a lot of the same systoms descibed by many of you. I'm wirting to gain some clarity and perhaps some insight on what I should expect.

The AVM is located in an unusal postion,(behind T9 and T10) which is making it diffult for the doctors to decide on what opertion they feel comfortable preforming. Also, forming is a small Aneurysm on top of the AVM.

O.K., with that said I have a couple questions unanswered. Best Doctors and Clincs? Differant Procedures?
