Very true. It would be quite the project to try for anything but the decompression at this point. Maybe an ADR will be possible for my C5,6 if that day comes.

I did check for Lyme. I need to know more about this possibility. Is there a link of what other things may be going on? I was told my spine looks 20 years older. If this can be stopped or understood my later years will be immeasurably improved.

1/2012 C6,7 arthritic, ADR recommended 
BCBS will cover 
UPDATE: No doc since the first surgeon has recommended an ADR. It now looks like I am up for another microdiscectomy / foraminotomy 
I'm certain I am not the last for such a diagnosis change so we can all still learn from each others experiences!
