Default help and thanks.

Hello Rhatzy,
Thanks for your reply. According to the local doctor, the compression to the spinal cord was due to disc bulging and bone spur from the vertabraes at C3-4 and C4-5. That's why he recommended an ACDF. I understand that the ACDF will remove the bulging disc but will the procedure also include removing the bone spurs from the vertabraes?

Also, which German doctor should I consider if I choose to go this route? I heard about Stenum and also Dr Bertagnoli. Any others I am missing?

The strange thing is given my moderately severeness of my condition, I don't have any symptoms other than discomfort on my neck and occasional aching. I can manage that. Should I wait 'til the symptoms show up later or should I take care of it now? If I wait, will my cervical condition deteriorate to the point where I can't do ADR?

Harrison, I appreciate your kind advice...

Thank you.
