Facing 2 Level Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement vs Fusion

[Poncho]

Hey Maria,

Just wow in regards to insurance and deductibles. I *think* my deductible is somewhere around 5K. However, currently going back and forth with insurance for coverage on this procedure.

As for symptoms, still have the shoulder joint pain / upper deltoid area, sometimes goes into forearm on the radial side. Then, sometimes to the left shoulder blade. I guess each area needs to take it turn. I do remember that with the lumbar radiculopathy, it took 2 1/2 almost 3 months post op to go away. I hope that is the case with this.
