Default so sorry to hear that

Hi firefighter, my thoughts will be with you as you deal with this.

I'm new here as well, and just in the process of researching options for my recently diagnosed C5-6 and C6-7 herniated discs. Until now, all indications were that the M6 discs were the most promising and reliable, so I read your post with some shock.

Given that you went back to firefighting after your surgery in 2007, I assume there was some significant stress placed on your spine over the years after that? Or did you try and take it easy?

And was the surgery done by Dr. Ritter-Lang or Dr. Bertagnoli?
