I also have my pro-disc at c5-c6 and can feel it make a pop and click/clunk sound but it does not affect my hearing or my ear. Everyday I wish there was an easy way to take this out of me. I feel my doctor lied about how easy a revision would be. I wonder what the wobble is.

As for your ear sometimes TMJ makes my ear pop but I had that before my pro disc. Also I don't want to sound cold but I'm very upset that Dustin feels the fusion thru the back did not help him. I just want all of us to feel better so we can try to go on with our lives.

10 days until fusion over adr
I have started wearing my neck brace at night just to relieve some of the pressure I feel in my neck and shoulders and to get used to wearing it again. It seems to help a little but I have issues with claustraphobia anyone experience that while wearing the brace? I am scared of being in the brace after surgery.
I am scared of this surgery. I believe in my heart I am doing the right thing but it doesnt make it any easier. After suffering for so long I am afraid of hoping that this will finally fix me only to be let down again. Honestly I am afraid of more pain on top of what I live with daily. I dont think I can take it I think I will loose it completly  . Its sad to be afraid of hope... My husband is mr mary sunshine lol trying to be postive and tells me it will work and I will be fine, he wont even consider that it wont help me. I dont know if that is good or bad. I feel even more pressure for it to work I dont want to let him down. I am sleeping sitting up now but at least I am sleeping a little (percocet induced sleep), if I lay down I can feel the adr slip to the right and catch. I think its the keels they are just to big. I am glad I have 10 days until my surgery I am not in the right frame of mind to have it right now I am ready to be free of the constant pain though..  prayers are appreciated thanks
