Thanks guys. Dr. Regan was very short and to be honest didn't really seem interested in my symptoms. This really doesn't matter to me because I am not seeing him for his diagnostic skill as I have brought the diagnosis to him. I am seeking his surgical skill.
Hopefully the dice roll will turn in my favor and these discs are the major pain generators. If C7-T1, and T1-2 turn out to be causing major pain after this, I have Dr. Henry from TBI who will operate. Dr. Regan would as well, but unfortunately I do not have the money to either stay or come back to California for him to do it.

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.
