What about you ? Are you actively seeking medical treatment for your problem? In this country or other?
Obviously you want an ADR or a few.
I still feel so badly for all your losses. We just lost a friend do to medical incompetence as well.

I have gotten very conflicting opinions from surgeons. The last one told me that an old style ADR like the ones available in the US would not be a good thing for me because they over rotate. I asked him how I would be if C 5-6 was not herniated and he said I'd be much better. He offered a fusion but I know to many people who had them who ended up far worse.
I think if I had the Neo Disk I'd be better and if that failed they could do a fusion.
I asked my chiro what he thought and he thinks that 5-6 is the main culprit.
I also got conflicting info on dealing with the osteophytes.
U.S. doctors tell you that they will grow back worse if they are removed and others say that is your spine is functioning properly they won't grow back.
I really feel like we are in the medical dark ages especially in the US.
I guess whatever I do it will be a roll of the dice.
