There's a lot of pro athletes who have ADRs, many in contact sports (fighting, rugby, etc). They can take a hit.

5/6 looks like it has some major height loss (compared to the others). The MRI will give a more accurate picture, though. Don't read the radiology report. They put a lot of scary sounding things...

Alan,

Go to an in-network spine specialist, tell them your symptoms, and get an MRI and x-rays. Screw the VA. After that, you'll get a diagnosis. If they recommend surgery, go see another...

You should stop doing BJJ asap, now and probably forever. Your spine is one of the most important things in your body. Why risk hurting yourself even more?

The M6 has a nucleus-like core in the middle. It's only reasonable to accept that over time (think decades) it will lose some of its height and ability to cushion. It's like an older bed,...

That Simplify disc looks promising. If you can definitely get the ADR (vs. a two-level ACDF) in the study, I'd consider getting those.
