How long were you in the hospital after surgery? After the surgery, how long was it before the pain of the surgery was gone?
I still have some pain in my neck, but it is no longer constant so I can't complain too much.
My fear of fusion is that I would have to go through tremendous pain and it won't work. A good friend of mine had her lower back (not sure exactly which ones) fused and she is no better for it 5 years later. I also don't want to have to take pain meds forever.
I had surgery on a Monday and could have gone back to work on Thursday. I took the whole week off, but only because I had excess time off I needed to use. -
Has anyone had either of these procedures? Personally, I had the ADR and a ProDisc C was used. I had a ruptured disc at C5-C6 and a friend of mine recommended his doctor. I had the surgery 6 1/2 weeks ago. I have a little pain still, but nothing like I had before and I am still in the healing process so that pain could completely go away. I am curious if anyone has had the replacement and how it worked for them. Anyone have fusion? I have heard fusion is really painful to have done and heal through. I have a few other discs that need to be "fixed" and I'm not sure which route to go. Thus far, I have had good luck with this "fake" one, but if too many need to be replaced, they suggest fusion.
