Has anyone had a surgery done called disc replacement surgery done and can I get the doctor’s name and his Ph#. Thanks. I’m in alot of pain and stress and I am not doing too well.
I need 4 disc replacements on my neck due to a car accident.?
I was in a car accident on February, a gentleman hit me from the passenger side when he decided to make an illegal U-Turn. I went to a chiropractor for about 1 1/2 month, did therapy and nothing worked, had MRI, CT scan and Xrays taken, It came up that i had 3 herniated discs and about 6 bulges, between my neck and lower back.
The Neuro Surgeon gave me an option to either get some steroid shots on my neck or having disc replacement surgery,
I elected the surgery after carefully researching the pro’s and con’s of both, they are going to perform a pro disc replacement surgery on me, to replace 3 of the discs on my nec to get rid of the pain.
I am ignorant when it comes to legall terms etc. etc. etc.
I do have an attorney but of course that he’s always busy to talk to me or just never returns my phone calls. Is there anyone out there that can tell me an average of how much of a settlement am i possibly looking at here?
I just wanted to know before i get thru with the surgery, due to the fact that i currently work doing some pretty physical stuff and of course will be out for a period of time and maybe have to change jobs eventually.
Thanks a lot for reading and i am sorry for my spelling.
have a great day or night !!!

For a herniated back disk, is a discectomy or disk replacement surgery better?
I’m in early 30′s, diagnosed with a significant L5-S1 herniated disk, with left leg sciatica symptoms that hurt all the time and make it very difficult to walk…it’s been five months now, physical therapy seems to have been ineffective, as well as my first epidural, and it is recommended now that I not get any additional epidurals. Two weeks ago, could lift leg 1 1/2 feet straight up, now it’s about 6 inches. Only way to get through the day and do some work, is to take percocet with about 3 pain patches on the worst pain areas. Have my second neurosurgeon appointment shortly, expect a recommendation of ASAP surgery, or latest in two months. Thoughts appreciated
