wow! I cannot believe reading all this, I've lived with this for 5yrs and im only 27. I have seen ridiculous doctors that put me on all kinds of meds. i finally had radio frequency ablations done that didnt even touch the pain..I live in Michigan, is this surgery available here??? My discs are c3 c4 c5 c6 and c7. In the past months it is starting to effect my arms and everything I do with them. I lost my job, house and half of my life. your stories make me feel not so alone

@ButterFlyBabe261

im not sure if its available there - in michigan but i tell you that im feeling great and that the surgery really helped with the accident - as for multiple discs - in the past i read that it may be possible but it would all depend - its best to get a neurosurgeons opinion -

and good luck on your quest

[mchi0511]

hey tvcsd ...good luck on your recovery and hope that all goes well for you

how about you post a video about your experience as it seems that a lot of people dont have any knowledge of this

[mchi0511]

i didnt have any pain in my head as you had asked me that has not happened to me just yet and i hope it doesnt either

as for money i was lucky to have an insurance that covered most of the expenses

but i did get a bill from the hosptial and it was in the area of 80k all together

[mchi0511]

thanks for the thoughts joe - perhaps you should share the experience as well with the rest of the people who are doing research about it

Guys! One serious question: What about reliability? What if this artifical thing crashes?
