Re strength of implant
Assuming successful recovery (so far so good) my doc indicated my ADR's will likely outlast me and they are stronger than my original disks.
2 months post recovery I am allowed to try a little jogging....easy short runs at 3 months. No contact sports for 9 months...for me that means no rope.
If all goes well I am told I can resume my long distance running, backpacking and high altitude mountaineering etc.
TBD activities will be road cycling and rock climbing. The potential issue is the "head back" position aggravating my neck.
This was the general assessment I received from all of my consults. My physio is echoing the same sentiment but with emphasis on posture improvement during recovery.
Hoping they are right....Runner
