Prestige ST c5/6

[sahuaro]

Just wanted to post that I had Prestige ST implanted at c5/6 after discectomy and extensive foraminotomy by Dr. John Regan. I am doing remarkably well and require minimal pain meds. Mark was able to observe my surgery and noted that they were doing EMG monitoring to look for spinal cord injury during the surgery; apparently, there was an improvement in my EMG after the decompression. I probably wouldn't have known anything about the EMG if Mark hadn't been there and I hope Mark will post with further thoughts and observations. BTW, my surgery was just hours before Mark tripped and had a flare-up of cervical symptoms...not suggesting there was a connection but just glad he didn't trip in the OR...
