I have two discs in my cervical arena and two in my lumbar arena. I believe in disc replacement as fusions have a high degree of adjacent segment disease. I would rather have a chance of living an athletic life which I had before ADR surgery.
I am living my dream currently at almost two years out. I would get another opinion.
