Bob Hilton X-stop for cervical disc

Had the consult with the neuorsurgeon this morning. He isn't going to do anything with the bulging thoracic or lumbar discs, but does want to do surgery on the cervical disc and fusion, as I show marked weakness and nerve impingment down left arm, wrist etc. The disc is bulging to the left. I saw the MRI's and bulge quite large with noticable pushing against space. He will also removes some of the spurs impinging the foramina. I asked about the X-stop and he said it was only for use in lumbar area at this time. Haven't set the surgery date yet, as I have to see when my daughter can come from Florida to Oregon to stay with me for awhile. Thank you for all your help. Will update when I know when surgery will be.

Me too, I did not find any publication about X-stop  for the cervical spine (maybe in few years they well)...What you should do from now and on, is to try avoiding any fast food and  have a balanced diet/nutrition and avoid the flucyuation in your sugar level , because this well help alot in smooth surgery and the  wound/ bone healing afterward .

  Best of luck, my prayers
