That is what my neurosurgeon says I need next. c2,c3,and4. The scary part is the front part is done through the mouth and the rest through a 6 inch slit from the skull to t2. I had a fellow Handball player that had it done. I am waiting as long as I can.

I looked into Lazer Spine and went to several of there seminars. I would prefer that as only a 1 inch incision is made. Medicare does not cover it. It is about $25,000 and is done in Scottsdale AZ. Others who have had it were quite pleased.

Good luck on the healing process, meanwhile stay on SpyderLovers and let us know how you are doing.

I considered the laser,but after researching it.It sounds like it works well in the lower and mid back,but not so good in the neck.i here the neck is smaller and the muscle mass is tighter and the laser is hard to get in there.

Our thoughts and :pray::pray: go with you for a speedy recovery.

I'm glad all went well! I'm Fat Crip because I had C3/4, C4/5 laminectomy 10 years ago this month. Let's say it didn't exactly go to plan! I woke up totally paralysed from the neck down, able to breath, but not digest food. It took me nine months in Spinal Rehab to get back on my feet to hobble a few yards and seven years to get back to riding. I started with a quad, but moved on to a Spyder this year. My right side is still paralysed and my left still partly so. Unfortunately I regained the ability to eat, but not to exercise, hence the 'Fat' prefix lol

My neurosurgeon will not do surgery unless I start to lose use of my right arm or hand. He said there is a 30% chance of some paralysis. His name is Dr. Thomas Norton Here in Tucson. He is very well known world wide so I guess I will have to take his advise.

Anything this close to the brain stem is considered risky!

To a full and speedy recovery! :thumbup:
