Sean, I don't think the brand of prosthesis is relevant to your question... the surgery and trauma are pretty much the same for all the current crop of ADR's. A lot of people I know with cervical ADR's have continuing low level neck pain indefinitely following the surgery. It is not unlikely that the continuing pain comes from other levels or other areas of the spine that are left untreated. I do have continuing achey neck following my 4-level ProDisc-C ADR, but that continuing pain is at a very low level. (Unfortunately, I still suffer from some pretty horrific thoracic pain, but I believe that is unrelated to my ADR surgeries.)
Good luck with your recovery! Mark
