Do these crooked Pro discs look normal??

Hello Steve,
Did you have a bone density test done? If not, I may pursue one now if I were you. I hope this all turns out well for you in the end. I am very sorry that you may have to make another trip and spend more money. I am in a similar situation with the return trip and the additional spending. This time for an additional level though, not a revision. We all know that this is a possibility going in... you just never figure that it will actually happen to you.

The single keel was the original design - top and bottom were single keel.

Best of luck to you.
Maybe I will see you there

Steve,

I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with one of your new discs. I certainly hope you can negotiate for a "no charge" revision surgery. I would also ask the medical tour guide to pay for the travel expenses for the revision. You've been through enough and laid your trust in their hands.

I was given a contract of sorts after my surgery. Any problems with the discs is covered at no charge (except for travel expenses). I would hope your surgeon will step up and give you all considerations in your difficult time.

Good luck to you Steve. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

Bob

I have had the same problem as you. My x-ray looked the same as your bottom disc. I was recently told by a different surgeon that the prodisc is not suppose to open like a book and he told me that this was a mechanical failure of the disc. I have just undergone a fusion last week after a year and a half of suffering to fix the problem. I wish you all the best and hope that this helps with a little more info for you. Nettie

I too have the same weirdness going on in my lumbar spine. Dr. Delamarter has had to reassure me every time I go see him...for 5 years now. That I have scoliosis (curvature of the spine). He said that I can leave it alone, since it causes no symptoms. I have no pain. It is not the end plate sinking into the bone. I can't think about it too much or it freaks me out. I will try to post my films on here.
