Linda,

I know as a young child (about 8 or 10 years old) I was evaluated for  
the SDR surgery.  The test they did showed I would have most likely  
been adversely affected by the surgery so, of course, we didn't do  
it.  I have never taken meds. for spasticity, although my PT brought  
it up recently.

Not much help, I am sure, but my experience, none the less....
