Hello Lee,,

I am new to the forums also and am very sorry to hear of what you have been going through.. I had a Prodisc-C at C5-C6 in March of '08.... it migrated fwd enough that I had a revision in September of '08. The revision has been stable. The surgeon told me that I had incurred some scar tissue on my right nerve root at C5-C6 which he cleaned up but he said it might return... I do have some positional associated pain I think is related to this but for the most part, seems to be good. Much better than how I was previous to the first surgery.

When my surgeon went in for the revision, he did tell me that if we ran into issues, he would have to do a fusion.

I hope you can get a proper diagnosis of you pain and can get it remedied. I know how difficult and depressing it is to be limited and in pain.

I wish you well, Sincerely, Ken
