oh goodness!
This is so horrifying! Like JSS; I too have MC-6 at two levels. Mine are under three level fusion which may make the stress on these devices even greater. So much for due diligence. I am due for my three month post op x-rays soon. My daughter in law worked for a PA that did a research paper on the M6-c and was going to do my x-rays for me but now he has left that hospital. Now I am on my own...I had no pain for two straight week and this weeks it's back.
