Bob,

I have been fortunate, things have gotten better for me. I waited a year after my Stenum surgery to see if things would work out, but I didn't get lucky. I had my M6 removed, osteophytes cleaned up, then fused. I felt immediate relief after the surgery. In fact I was working at my desk the next day. The surgery was here in the states. My neck will never be 100%, but seeing I had 5 cervical surgeries, I'm doing pretty good.

My surgeon told me what he seen in there from my Germany procedure, but I'll let that go. He did however say the disk had good placement.

This has always been my issue with Ritter-Lang, if he had taken the time and did a proper decompression, it would have saved me a lot of time, pain and money.

Anna no argument here, just frustration over my experience. I'll stop beating this horse.
