We will definately keep an eye on them. I figure they were not put in properly or the force of my neck trying to get to my chest (chin on chest deformity was what i had). I still have some kyphosis, he just said he could not get it any better. Reading an older thread Mark i saw you refer to this as swan neck deformity, nice way to put it. I just could not get my chest off my body and could not make eye contact or look up at all.
so this is a huge improvement and i am not paralyzed or dead,so am very thankful as is the OR staff.
Now back to the lower back which is why i first met this man. Although now i have a fracture in my vertebrae and i do not even know which level., I think the end of thoracic. That would be the one that was also positive on discography but DrRegan could only get to the back of it. So i have 1/2 a painful disc and 1/2 bMP.
thanks all for your replies
