I do not regret having that surgery one bit. The problem was with the diagnostics, not the prodisc. My regret is not having the discogram before the operation because it turns out that another level was the main pain generator.

I am still glad that I went ahead with it though since here in the states insurances will only approve one level. I got the level that has more movement with the prodisc and I have the fusion at C7-T1 which sees much less movement than upper levels so less risk of adjacent level degeneration.
