My neighbour had this problem. Unfortunately, the surgeon replaced only ONE of the two discs, leaving him in a worse state than before.

A neurosurgen will take my neck apart

Postby dragonthoughts » Fri Apr 03, 2009 11:22 am

Yesterday, I went to see a neurosurgeon regarding my cervical spondylosis, which has caused me a great deal of pain over about five years.

This time, my neurosurgeon suggested that removal of one, or possibly two, of the disks from my upper spine will alleviate some of the pain.

When the soft disk in my neck is removed, it will be replaced by a hard titanium disk shaped cage.

So, as an IT consultant, I'll still be having a soft disk replaced with a hard disk....
