Sorry that you're in such pain.
I agree w/Charles that you must determine your pain generator(s). If you feel pain on your cervical spine/back of neck, then maybe (and I don't know cervical stuff at all) a discogram is warranted, along w/facet injections to rule out the facets as pain drivers which means that an ADR wouldn't help you vs. fusion (if you have a positive/painful discogram). Hopefully you can get away w/a disectomy. My best, Allan
