Default Can I have ADR, post Foraminotomy

New to the forum - Hello everyone - need help please - have had back pain for around 7 yrs, this past January began having right arm pain for 2 months and then over a period of few days began having weakness and numbness in the right arm. MRI showed degenerative disk disease in c5-c6 & c6-c7 and acute disc hernaition in c6-c7. Had a posterior approach Foraminotomy to remove the herniation which was effective in treating my RT arm weakness, numbness and pain.

Went back to my full activity (Running, Light Weight Lifting, Hiking) but now having pretty intense upper RT sided back pain between the spinal column and scapula having difficulty working and driving my car because can't turn my neck enough for turns, the continuous pain is making life very difficult.

Does anyone know if my previous Foraminotomy excludes me form ADR treatment? The Doc who did the Foraminotomy in March says I am not a candidate for ADR because of the Degenerative Disease - In the process of getting more opinions
