Decision re: artificial disc replacements in cervical spine
Spine Health | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (13)Comment receiving replies
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?

No. Not at all and I am very active in my working out. I have given up horseback riding but that decision was finalized when I got kicked last year and required a titanium disc at L4 (also doing well now). It just comes down to coming up with alternatives that you enjoy but don’t compromise your back.
