Well my oh my, how things can change in a short space of time...
Had the consult on Thursday last week & we discussed disc replacement... & booked for 03 Dec.
Final CT & MRI then, a phonecall... unfortunately, things have changed for the worst in the last 6 months since my original MRI so, nolonger a candidate for Disc replacement...
So, fusion it is then..
Nevermind... I'm assured that it won't result in a significant reduction in mobility due to the fact it's the first joint down from where your spine is actually solidly fixed to your skull...
Fingers crossed, all goes well next week... anyways, compared to the pain I currently experience I guess a small loss in mobility (if even noticeable) will be a small price to pay...
Thanks again to all that chipped in with advice & support
Cheers
