[TN from PA]

Hello Everyone

Long time lurker here seeking any and all advice and suggestions.
Fusion candidate since 2007, Cervical Degenerative Disk Disease, one doctor in Europe suggests 4 ADR's, C3-4 through C6-7, another suggests those four plus fusion at C-7/T-1. Under review in USA now (out of network though).

Excellent range of motion but exertion of upper shoulder and/or neck muscles will trigger severe headache that can usually be extinguished with migraine drug, sumatriptan. Frequency is increasing and sumatriptan scripts are limited. Would rather live without meds.

Prefer USA based surgeon and therefore Mobi-C.

Recently moved and now insured by Optima, a regional company, and would appreciate names of any ADR experienced doctors in the Maryland, Virgina(Optima base) and possibly North Carolina area.

Visit to doctor located on Mobi-C "Find-a-Doctor" was frustrating as he would not discuss the ADR. Request to LDR/Mobi-C for more detailed assistance was, though quick and polite, no help.

Any advice and suggestions appreciated
