Hi folks, I was hoping that one of you speaks Spanish! Can you help our new member, Mirta?

Mirta, I believe you speak some English, maybe you can elaborate here...

Mil gracias por brindarme la oportunidad de compartir mis preocupaciones con ustedes. Manana viajo a Loa Angeles para el Lunes tener una consulta con el Dr Carl Lauryssen sufro de dolores en el cuello y el brazo derecho se me acalambra.pase por todos los metodos que me recomendaron para no tener que operarme .pero por lo que veo no tengo otra alternativa.

Mi duda mas grande es cual seria la mejor opcion de protesis.el M6 o el Pro-disc? Ya que el dr B en Alemania solo recomienda Pro disc en mi caso el dise que nesecito 4 remplazos en mi cuello.

Estoy muy asustada ya que no se cual inplante tiene menos problemas en el futuro. Alguien ya paso por esto?

Me gustaria hablar con alguien que le hayan colocado 4 discos M6 o Pro-disc en el cuello.

Gracias por la ayuda que me puedan brindar!

Translation from Google:
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my concerns with you. Tomorrow I travel to Los Angeles on Monday to have a consultation with Dr. Carl Lauryssen suffer from pains in the neck and right arm acalambra.pase me by all the methods that they recommended to avoid an operation. but I see no I have no choice.

My biggest question is what would be the best option protesis.el M6 or the Pro-disc? As Dr. B in Germany only recommends Pro disc in my case the design i need 4 replacements in my neck.

I am very scared because they do not know which implante has fewer problems in the future. Someone already go through this?

I like to talk to someone who has put 4 discs M6 or Pro-disc in the neck.

Thanks for the help you can give me!
Michael

I realize that this is difficult to post across languages but is there any chance of getting more information about Mirta's current condition? Even something written in Spanish and translated by Babelfish as the post above was would help.

Multiple Prodiscs in line can lead to problems with vertebral cracking as the keels sit in channels cut in the vertebrae. The Prodisc Nova greatly limits that problem but it would still be questionable if there's any hint of osteoporosis. The M6 is still pretty new. Some like it, some (including me) don't but there is not a lot of information about it for multiple adjacent discs. Because of that, your current condition will really dictate more about what risks are appropriate and what risks aren't acceptable.
