Great video. And a courageous woman. As an engineer what I never understand is why surgeons are using ball-and-socket joints to replace a cushion joint. It makes no sense. Give me a ball and socket joint replacement for my hip.. not my spine.
Do you mind my asking did they place the artificial disc anteriorly (through the belly) or posteriorly? It was multilevel so I assumed it was done anteriorly. Happy to hear you've done so well and thank you for being so open and generous with your experiences.
Hi Eliza. I hope you are doing really well today. I have the exact same prognosis. I would be so appreciative if you could email me. I am 40 and looking to go to Germany for the multi-level disc replacement and it'll be from L3-S1
stenum? whats that? my artificial disc is made by crome ,im felling great now ,but still cautious with my neck,i would say 90%!remember after any kinda surgery ull never be 100% no more,but thats life ,i put my body under too much train so ....but just gotta star slow and get bk with time!just find a good dr! good luck!
i had surgery yesterday on my cervical.i had disc replacement on c6 c7 with prodisc c and i feel great just sore throat !no more pain thanks good and the surgeon!im very happy and satisfied!

Single level about 20,000 = 25,000 Euro. Incrementally more for more levels.

Congratulations! Great news. I'm suffering from low back pain and considering disc replacement. I also live in SF.
