In February '17 bulged disk between C6-7. Left arm tingling, maybe 1/3 strength. did swim and run (run was a pain, but not terrible), Bike was impossible. Tried PT, no help. He said you need a MRI and see what that says. I posted my issue here and had a few excellent responses (even looked at my MRI) from Neurosurgeons. They both said you'll end up w/a fusion. And, I'll like it.
Couldn't get an appointment for months locally (Sacramento), got one in less than a week in the Bay Area. My doc said to go w/the Mobi C (aka artificial disc).
Next day my arm was back to 90% (no shit). I felt great. A life saver. I even got my first KQ in August that year. Considering I thought I was basically done with life. Even sleeping was a bitch.
Most days now. I COMPLETLY forgot I had the procedure.
best of luck.
I saw this on a white board in a window box at my daughters middle school...
