I am due to have a disc removed in my neck
on 23rd of this month. They are replacing
it with a prosthesis disc. I have had
numerous surgeries on my jaw the last 2
being total replacement joints, so I am
not new to surgery just new to this
particular surgery. I had a disc removed
from the bottom of my back about 11 years
ago, but can't really remember the
recovery time etc and I suppose this
surgery will be nothing like the previous
one. Also they are going in through the
front of my neck to get to this disc which
is scaring the living daylights out of me.
Apparently your vocal cords etc are moved
out of the way during this time !!! Has
anyone had this type of surgery before,
and if so please can they give me as much
information as they can.
