Wishing you all the best in your decision to move forward and hopefully get some good resolution. It is some cruel irony that you are presenting a unique situation! Which disk will you be getting?

I'll get ProDisc-C
ANS, search for auto-adjacent level degeneration... I wrote about this around the time of Diane's surgery. The biomechanics are dorked up with collapsed or immobile segments, causing overload of adjacent levels... so they may be on the way out before we even get to ADR... that is why there are so many 2 and 3-level cases with there being a very clear pecking order... this one went first, then the next, then the next.

Mark,
Wow I haven't been here for a bit...sorry to hear you are having problems again with your neck. Good luck with your decision and your surgery if you decide to go forward. Sounds like your between that rock and a hard place again....wish you the best. Me, well, my neck is tweaked, my Dynesys is not as promised or alluded to, and I am off to fight Social Security soon.....wish me luck. I may need the money to go some where else for medical!

Mark,
You know how sorry I am to hear that you've reached the point of surgery. Hopefully this will resolve all your pain and that's the end of it... of course besides your knee. My thoughts are with you, Dale How can I help?

Mark,
I'm wishing you the best in the upcoming surgery. Like Cheryl I'm following a path similar to yours with ever evolving cervical symptoms. When ever I hung up the phone or walked out of a doctor's office after committing to an invasive anything, I always felt unusually good for some reason. The good old pre-surgery roller coaster. Take care, hope to see you soon,

cervical ADR
Mark,
Wishing you the same success with this surgery as with your lumbar surgery however it's worked out in Dr.Bertagnoli's skillful surgical hands/mind! Last edited by Maria; 09-11-2008 at 04:44 PM.

Why not Mobi C
Mark,
I was recommended mobi c. Can you share what Dr B said the disadvantages of mobi c were? BTW - I have an excellent neurologist who said that the face signals were a C5-C6 cord signal because the 'cranial nerve nucleus has a descending tract that crosses over the medial branch' something something something. It is a sign of cord compression.
