Not a PRODISC
Dustman,
Thanks for the thoughts/warnings are the prodisc. Per my previous post, the implant is a Bryan Artificial Disc.
I'm not going in there thinking this is any sort of guaranteed plan, not by any stretch of the imagination. To be honest, I'm not happy about going hundreds of miles from home for this procedure, but I recognize that is an order of magnitude less than others have gone for an ADR.
As for level of activity, I can tell you that my goal is to get back to being active once this is fixed. With the current levels of impingement on my spinal cord and the symptoms that have come with it, I've become much less active, and the bathroom scale is telling me about it!!!
