Hi Maz, welcome to the US community and thx for writing! We have much in common in terms of sports (you'll get there again!) and growing our own veggies!
You seem very well informed about your spine, that's good. Has your consultant also explained some of the other cervical issues associated with loss of lordosis -- relative to certain artificial discs? In this case, not all artificial discs may be appropriate.
When you can, please add a signature to your profile. Also, for all the old farts in this community, can you insert some paragraph breaks!?
Just click in the little eraser icon in the lower right to edit your message.
Old and lazy people like me thank you.
