Thanks for posting this video! Did they offer replacement or fusion surgery? What made you decide to have the surgery? I have a C6-C7 herniation and your comments about not knowing what it feels like to not be in pain really hit home for me. I am so scared and confused on what to do.

The orthesis (brace) is a safety device. In about 5% of the cases the ADR will migrate due to sudden patient movements. As a result of using the brace, Dr. B. has had no migrations due to sudden patient movements. Many of these movements and subsequent migrations occur during sleep. Better safe than sorry.

Super! Hope you go to Prof. Dr. Bertagnoli and not a lesser surgeon. The right surgeon is the key to success.

Tvicknair, what kinda artifical disc did they put in you???? There are different kinds. I think it' s pretty much up to the doctor. I had mine done in the states by the way.

Prodisc-C. No screws, no metal-to-metal contact, therefore no metal ions in the blood or liver. The new Prodisc-C Nova is the latest, which is specifically designed for multi-level surgery, semi-constrained and off set keel design with virtually no MRI artifacts. Best wishes.
