Default How long for recovery?

Hi Coolray,

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if you could let me, or anyone else that has had similar treatment, know how you are doing after 5 years of living with the Mobi-C prothesis in your neck?

3 weeks ago I had a cervical discectomy where they replaced the disc at C5/C6 with a Mobi-C prosthesis. I had been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for 6 years and was getting constant tingling down my right arm and into my fingers. I know it is still fairly early days and the pain is gone from my arm but my neck is still really hurting. I am hoping that this time it is just muscle pain which is the result of years of tension and that it will subside over time.

Did you or anyone experience this and if so how long after the operation did it go on for?

Thanks,

Seán
