Anyone have piggybacked plates and what are your symptoms cause for 16 years they keep telling me its all in my head and my child who is now 18 years old has suffered the most having to see me like this and not having the father that she deserves and time I feel is not on my side so please anyone who has anything similar tell me your conditions cause the pain is truly winning this fight and I promised myself that I would not let it so any info. would be greatly appreciated and do not have this procedure done unless you have a broken neck, not bulging discs or strange symptoms like mine where they put in plates over 2 years and after a regular P.A. finds my vetebral artery is 90% blocked just under my skull where the neck enters on the right side and how does a surgeon miss this

Do you know who the manufacture is or the name of the plating they have used? I am having huge problems with the VECTRA plating.
