Re: C4-C5 & C5-C6 Discectomy and Fusion Hi Jeff,
Would you mind filling out a signature(spine problem history)? That way at a glance we can see your problems and attempts or fixes. Also what hospital in San Antonio to you go to?
Below is Justin's advice on making a signature:
Please create a "signature" (a few lines describing your spine problems), as it will help us help you.
(First go to "Forum)
Click on "Settings" at the top of the Forum. Scroll down to "My Settings" and click on "Edit Signature" --> enter text and click save.
Thanks.
Diagnosis:
Degenerative disc disease throughout spine
