Thank-you for telling your story @cocodab I have passed along to my friend the info about joining Connect and I hope he does. She said she has spinal stenosis, did you have that? Did you get any feeling back in your arm? Was the surgery otherwise successful except for the accidental severing of the nerve? That is a horrible outcome but I am interested in how successful just the surgery itself was. With my friend it sounds like they are going to do two separate things, a corpectomy and a discectomy, unless those are two words describing two aspects of the same procedure. The whole thing does sound scary to me.
