Cervical ADR's & return to running etc.
Hello all,
I am new and looking at 2 or 3 level cervical ADR's.
I am very active and my goal would be to return to my activites. Running, backpacking, climbing, cycling....
Is this unrealistic? Has anyone been similarly successful?
I have had 5 surgical consults, 4 say "yes" and 1 says "my odometer has run out" and I will never return to any of it (he also advocated partial or full fusion). One doc was a runner and seemed trustworthy but NONE of them have been able to "name" a patient who has gone back to similar sports.
I would appreciate any feedback.
Best, Runner

Clinging to the fantasy this will resolve spontaneously on its own.
