Laura, thanks for your insightful post, and noticed that you had 3 ADR's C4/C7, so did you replace the fusion at C5-C6 with an ADR?
Cynlite & Laura, given the similar cervical areas to me, please advise if you had/have pain in the back of the trapezius/shoulder (area where you shrug the shoulder)! My MRI shows 3 disc problems (C3-C6) with 2 levels (C4-C6) being a little worse than C3-C4. Some of the specialist are recommending 2 levels ADR, while some recommend 3 levels, and of course some say that surgery will not help me! So wanted to know which level is most likely causing the pain in that area, to help determine if I should do all 3 levels or just 2 levels!
Thanks & wish Cynlite will be providing good success posts like Laura soon.
