Harrison, thanks for the encouragement. I am totally positive about a coming surgery, just want the one that will support my lifestyle the best. In all your replies and time on this site, have you come across any studies examining how external forces can effect ADR Vs. fusion?

x-ray/MRI showed moderate/severe DDD in C5-C6, and C6-C7, the bone spurs pinch the nerves that run down the right arm, causing constant tingling as well as inability to activate some of the muscles in my arm. In the top view of the MRI the Herniations bulge only about 2/3rds of the way across the spinal cord, I luckily have full control of the body below the chest except for minor tingling in the right foot.
