This is great to hear Cathy. You and I sound the same, lol. I too still have some pain, and take hydrocordone and ibuprofen as needed, mostly in the evenings but in still far better than before surgury and am able to be pain free with a little meds. Of course, I don't have my ADR's anymore like you do. : (

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.
