Good luck with your appointment. Hopefully this new surgeon will help to sort through your various symptoms and be able to pinpoint the problem. It may not be obvious with just x-rays and getting other imaging post-ADR can be problematic. Your situation is a little bit different in that it is a hybrid, but the constant headaches, dizziness, & tingling in fingers with head positioning is a concern and no physician/surgeon or pain management MD should turn you away with those symptoms. Have you've been following Jarrod's posts (2 cervical M-6's)? - had EMG's, & was suggested to him to have an ESI to try to r/o nerve root compression. Just some ideas to prepare/bring to your appointment.
