Please vote on this poll
All,
Since this topic is relatively old, it's been neglected in terms of its original intent -- to survey spine patients regarding how many levels of their spine are diseased or problematic. If you have not yet answered the one question poll, please do so! Here's the first page for reference. Thanks!

Been bumped up to five levels with a sixth T level 'in waiting'. Need emergency surgery in the cervical level, C5/6, with a hybrid going in at C4/5 & 5/6. S3/4 has escalated enough to need ADR now too and so will have fusion at S5/S1 and L4/5.
Things are getting better and better

C3/4-5/6- Mod. ant., severe posterior bulging w. nerve root compression. Sev. narrowing of spinal canal with cord compression. L4/5/S1- Mod. narrowing, bulging disc, significant hypertrophy of flava lig. Highly allergic to all metals. NEW: 3/16/2010: Successful surgery in Brazil w. Dr. Pimenta; Nuvasive NeoDisc at C5/6, and XLIF & ALIF at L4/5/S1 w. PEEK cages. No rods, screws, plates. Non-metal lumbar ADR not available at present time, so went with fusion. |

this could be a repeat...
I don't recall if I replied to this in the past or not. So I will reply either again, or for the first time. Regardless, I seem to have 2 levels affected, though only one caused concordant pain on a discogram. The other one just hurt, so I'm counting it as the second, since it wasn't normal.
