Mark,
Regarding condition of C6/7 prior to ADR. Discography was not done prior to ADR C5/C6, so all I can say is the symptons that were duplicated with discography are the same post op, as they were pre-op. The adr improved my neck range of motion and some radicular symptoms. I can support the weight of my head full time, just still radicular that were confirmed to C6/C7 in discography.
