Scotto,

Just my two cents.... I had a three level ADR in Barcelona Spain with Dr. Clavel. He iplanted 3 m6 cervical discs at c5/6,c6/7,c7/t1 and I am 32 days post op and feel pretty darn good. Symptoms such as numbness, tingling and needles feeling is fading week by week, and I think over the course of another 4 months I willl be in pretty ggod shape. I had osteophytes at alll three levels that had to be removed also. It seems that bone spur formation is common in a normal aging spine and that surgeons will encounter this quite often, which leads me to believe that it is only a small percentage of patients who have this reoccurance after surgery. My surgeon had me take 600 mg of ibuprofen 3 times daily for the firest 6 weeks after surgery, this helps slow bone growth formation after surgery. I hope this info helps, also Jeff basically has a a hybrid configuration in his neck and seems to be doing great, he also had Dr. Clavel and the m6 disc.
