Hello, I know you posted to one of my threads about our same surgeries in October and how you popped another disc, Of course I wont know till My MRI this week, but I remember this pain well and am sure this is what has happened to me, PLEASE can you give me the details of the surgery second time around, do they take bone from the same hip??? (i Hope) Cut through the same incision site on neck? My incision is so small now and I was so proud of how it turned out! Plate and screws again?? Or do they put a cage in?? 8 weeks in the Philly collar? Thats what I had last time, even though I had the hard ware --actually almost 9 weeks. Was it just as awful? Please be truth ful I need to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LoriXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX X
