I think Mobi-C is still the only one approved for two cervical levels in Canada but I'm not 100% sure of that.
Facebook ADR page sounds pretty informative but I've never been a Facebook kind of guy. I suppose I could join and restrict my use of FB to the ADR page only.
Whereabouts in Asia re you, if you don't mind sharing? My wife and I have travelled a lot there. We're not Asian but we love to visit. Unfortunately, travels are grounded until these spine problems can be resolved.

When I was in Barcelona, the day I was having my post op, there was a man and his wife there in the waiting room. He was about to have his second surgery with Dr. Clavel for that very reason.
He also stated that the weather in Spain helped his arthritis.
