I am feeling great and not having to go to the chiro after the Jan 10, 2008 operation - anterior cervical diskectomy. I have metal and plastic new disk C5-6. The disks above and 2 below may need to be replaced. One hospital in Germany said they would have replaced the C6-7 also but in the states I had to listen to the doctor and wait to see what happens in a 1 year 1/2. I will heal my spine, ect. I am in no pain now. Blessings.
