Decision re: artificial disc replacements in cervical spine

I have 4 titanium discs (C3-C6). Surgery was done in 2021. No pain or seemingly, no restrictions. Am not really conscious of it. Apparently, had severe compression prior to it with numbness in both arms. Now, everything feels normal.

Do you worry about the hardware? Has it changed how you approach activities? For example would you worry about riding a bike for fear of falling and breaking/dislodging the hardware or skiing similarly? I worry about these things now knowing my discs are impinging on my spinal cord and wonder if that needs to be my attitude after I heal from adr’s also?
