Dr. Corenman,
Great site. If someone has a foraminotomy, does that preclude having disc replacement later on (cervical)? Also I understand that LDR will have a two level cervical disc replacement approved in the U.S. sometime in 2013, do you have any views on that?
I am trying to avoid a two level (c5-c6-c7) fusion due to osteophytes, and bulging discs causing pain in right shoulder blade to hand. Getting a second opinion later this week, and maybe a third if the first two are widely divergent.
