Forgot to mention that Dr Mignucci did confirm what I always suspected all along about my C4/5 ADR. It aint movin at all. All my x rays whether I am looking up or down, all show this disc always in the same position which is the ADR closed on one side and opening up on the other side. Basically its not sitting right, and its not moving at all. Its acting like a fused disc in a sense. Dr Mignucci confirmed what I have always thought, only my middle ADR is functioning as it should as it does shows it settles in various positions based on different x rays shots.

2/26/09 - c4-c7 3 level ADR Prodisc Nova with Dr Bertagnoli. 100% success.
9/22/09 -Dr B opened me up to find a staph infection was eating my vertebrae causing ADR subsidence. Had to remove all 3 ADR's and convert to 3 level fusion. Mostly pain free 2 weeks post op.
9/20/10 - I think I jinxed myself. As soon as I told dr b and dr Sullivan I was doing well (on 6/1/10) I tanked and have experienced the return of pain. My neuro says the new pain is at t4.
