Thanks for watching. Best of luck with the surgery!!

That's great to hear! Best of luck with your continued progress!

I'm hoping for that as well! Best of luck!

Im scheduled to do 4 cervicals disc replacement quite soon. Regards to your surgery, how do you feels today ?any tip to share?

You’re the only one I’ve heard this from. I has a 2 level fusion in 2007. My son is having disc replacements and I’ve heard nothing but positivity.

@@ChrissyGrace2611 ive had my C5/6 disc replaced and its been a godsend. 1 out of 10 dont work, but Ill take those odds

I believe it was the second day after surgery where I had pad thai as my first solid food post-op. My throat was sore for only a couple days after surgery

I did not. I only had MRI's and X-rays taken

After I woke up, I had immediate relief from nerve pain. Essentially the nerve pain went away, only very sore. I was cleared to return to my normal activity levels 6 weeks after surgery. Check out my other videos for the progression! I would do it 100/100 times again as the surgery gave me my life back. Good luck!

@wojciechg792 thank you so much .. i have done the acdf 2 levels on 8th june. No pain on the cut side but until now the muscles are sore around the neck and shoulders. But as you said..the releif of arm pain and numbness is worth it .. god bless us 🙏

@@wojciechg792 What sort of restrictions have you had for activities. The doc kind of told me I should try to avoid anything that makes me flex my neck, which sounded a bit exaggerated.

@@FranciscoRamos13 Just too not over-extend or flex for a bit while recovering and had weight lifting restrictions for 6 weeks I believe.

@@wojciechg792 Thats good to hear, have you. had any problems after the 6 weeks, or now at your current state. DO you have your previous range of motion or are you somewhat limited?

It seems like surgery is on the table, I would consider it and consult with your doctor. It’s helped me in my life so I hope the same for you!

I feel so much better! It's not perfect, I do have some neck discomfort that I "deal with" with some stretching but it does not affect my day to day or active lifestyle, and still no more nerve pain. I would do it 10/10 times again. Good luck!

@@wojciechg792 thanks for responding

Have a fusion if u have neck pain, disc replacement does not cure the neck pain, fusion will

That isn’t normal. I would contact your surgeon to do a follow up on the location of the disc and confirm no migration.

I believe I started to drive two weeks after surgery if my memory serves

I do not have numbness anymore!

Thanks for the comment. My understanding is that his surgery is best to relieve impingement on the nerve in order to stop numbness/nerve pain. Have you tried physical therapy? I wonder if some muscle strengthening for your neck would help. Good luck!

That could be facet joints. Try injections! Unless you have neurological compression. I just had a two level Replacment.

Buongiorno io dovrei operarmi ad un ernia c6 c7 ma ho tanta paura ho dei forti dolori,ho i dischi c5 c4 pure rovinati e gli artrosi fa male dopo l'intervento?

I'm glad your surgery went well, and thank you for this video. I just met with a surgeon a few days ago, and he recommended a double disc replacement at c5-c6 and c6- c7. I did have neck and arm pain and numbness in my hand and thumb, and my left arm is getting weak. My pain is now gone, but the weakness and numbness are still there. I'm still trying to decide if i want to go thru with it. Did your feeling come back in your thumb and strength come back?

I am not sure since I did not have any chest discomfort prior to surgery

I believe that pillow was a part of a 4 piece wedge set from Lunix

Good afternoon Just was looking for some tips moving forward

@@allendouglas1783 If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer! In general after surgery - rest, heating pad for muscle soreness, good physical therapist for muscle strength exercises once healed.

I have surgery in two weeks ACDF , I'm really scared , I hope this will relieve me of pain ...

Still going strong! No nerve issues

From the research I found before surgery, it should be at least 10 years but hopefully longer. The issue is that there aren't long-term results because it's a relatively new surgery. I'm hoping for at least 20 years personally but everyone is different
