In addition to getting some flexion/extension xrays, it might be helpful to get some oblique views .. they can show the condition of your foraminal canals where your nerve roots pass through... I asked my surgeon if we could get them at one point and they did it for me. I was curious to see the alignment after the prodisc was put in

I will dig out my cds and try to get some screenshots over the weekend...
