ADR and Ostoporosis and Osteoarthritis later in life?
I have been extremely keen on having a cervical ADR after August.
I know that ADR is not recommended for people with Osteoporosis or Osteoarthritis - my question is
How would an artificial disc behave should you develop either of these conditions in ten, twenty years?
Would they shift and then cause BIG problems? Has anyone asked their NS or Ortho?
I don't have either of these conditions at the moment, but my mother suffered from Osteoarthritis. Would you have to take calcium supplements for the rest of your life to help prevent this?
If this question has already been addressed on the forum Alistair, would you please point me in the right direction
Thankyou in advance
Hucky
