I'll get ProDisc-C

ANS, search for auto-adjacent level degeneration... I wrote about this around the time of Diane's surgery. The biomechanics are dorked up with collapsed or immobile segments, causing overload of adjacent levels... so they may be on the way out before we even get to ADR... that is why there are so many 2 and 3-level cases with there being a very clear pecking order... this one went first, then the next, then the next.
