well found out i have to have surgery on my c6.. it is "collapsed" and impinging the nerve and spinal cord.. my doc wants to do a disc implant.. he says that being as i am only 43 and active he does not want to fuse the disc.. my insurance company says "no".. they say it is experimental and they only will pay for fusion.. yet, the implant was approved in 2006 by the fda.. so i now have to go with a appeal which could take 2-3 weeks.. in which i cant lift anymore until the surgery and my arms and hands going numb and shocks of pain down my arms and shoulders..
but yet i have two people at work that have had disc replacement and are not active or had any issues with insurance :banghead:.. my rant is now over lol
