These are great response. Jim do you know if there were any conclusion to the 10/20/85 million cycle question? It appears every manufacture uses different definitions of what "lifetime" means. Also, what is a reasonable load? I just read a study on spine compression in long distance runners that referenced 2000N as an appropriate force at the heal (of the shoe). I would like to believe that artificial disc designed for both the lumbar and cervical spine are more robust in the c-spine. But haven't made that leap yet.
Thanks for the pointer to Cadisc Conan. That does look interesting. Do you know how long it has been in use? -RP

I talked to Dr. Lauryssen this weekend. He called me from his car while on his way to the airport to fly to Switzerland. He said he is accredited for surgery there and just needs a contract with a hospital that is competitive with Germany and Spain. He indicated he is looking for pricing details of German and Spanish doctors that would allow him negotiating leverage.
As for me, he confirmed that I definitely need surgery sooner than later. This is because he sees Osteophytes at the offending levels. Neither MRI report nor my other doctor indicated that I have bone spurs. I will now be contacting doctors in Europe to see what their schedules are.
