2con,
I know that one doctor probably won't help. He is a very good spine doctor by the us standard and is probably great with the prodisc but he is one of those docs that know he is great and acts that way. He worked under dr Blumenthal and probably has in the 150-250 ADR surgery under his belt and he isn't even 45. I was pretty much sold until the m6l was brought to my attentions and now I'm thinking the right decision for the rest of my life is the m6. Still working hard to make the right decision. I know that surgery is the only real chance I have of a pain free life. I was wondering if anyone here knows of anyone that is having trouble with the m6. I have read that facet problems have been reported but I'm not sure that its the ADR's fault or maybe he was predisposed. I guess you may never know. Thanks for you fees back and god bless!!
