3 mo Update
Per dr b, my 3 mo x rays show a failed disc at c6/7. Old pre op pains are still gone but I now have new pains on the left side of my back, neck, and shoulder due to this failed/sinking disc. Dr b reccomends extracting the disc and fusing. I think the top ADR looks similarly crooked but dr b team says it is fine. I'll be getting my first 2nd opinion on the condition of my discs come Friday when I see dr Peloza.

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.
