Well after having the second MRI and 2 visits to Dr. Bitan, we are applying to my insurance for a Hybrid procedure where C56 will be fused and C67 will get a ProDisc. The reason for the above is that Dr. Bitan doesn't believe in doing the ADR where the spinal edema is and that is C56. I am awaiting a reply from my insurance GHI and Empire BCBC.
My symptoms have gotten better but none of the Doctors I have seen like the amount of push on my spine, and the C56 disc is broken downward in a weird way sort of lying between the spine and C67. It is possible that everything is from C56 and thatC67 will not require the ADR. In that case I will get a one level fusion at C56.
