I agree that there needs to be a poll for ppl that have had ProDisc for cervical issues.I know it's not working for me and mine was c-5 c-6 level. I feel pretty dumb myself for not doing enough research on this implant before letting my surgeon cut on me. I did do research but not enough. I suffer daily with my muscles in my shoulders and headaches and tremors and spasms and neck pain and etc. I am still going and getting ESI (epidural steroid injections) in my neck. It hurts like H***! I am going for my fourth shot 9/9/11. I am so disgusted and feel bad for others that are going through what I am as well. I am glad for those that care to hear me scream! I just want relief!!

I feel like screaming at my surgeon but I never want to see him again or ever let him put another finger on me! I went for my follow ups and he still acted like I wasn't supposed to be having these problems and as if he didn't care and I know he didn't care cos he got paid and was done with me! I hope I don't have to suffer for the rest of my life but I am 1yr 1 month and 4 days post opp and it is getting no better and actually getting worse! I have tried everything, meds, PT,rest, ESI and whatever has been suggested. I will probably face another surgery to have this removed and then I will have to have a fusion, I suppose. I am seeing another spine specialist now and still have hope that he can help me but hear me when I scream because I do it silently to myself daily. I just have to keep on keeping on for my kids. No one understands what those of us with cervical issues go though so I am so thankful for the support and advice I get on here.

Thanks and much love to you all.
