Welcome! I am glad that you do not have to have surgery yet. The longer we can wait, the more options will be available.

I was wondering if you could elaborate on the "spinal cord stimulator". How does that work? What is it supposed to do, relieve neurological deficits? Stimulate healing of the cord damage?

July 31, 2006 Surgery successfully completed Prodisc-C C5/C6 on in Straubing, Germany by Dr. Bertagnoli. Able to work full time since 1 month post op, but some pain remains.
10/2008 3 surgeons confirm C6/C7 needs ADR and always has.
Has anyone had a second ADR surgery on an adjacent level?
