Hello all,

I had a single level ACDF yesterday the 31st of July. I had not choice I had a ruptured disc that had compressed my spinal cord to 4mm. I was not showing symptoms but I did have a lot of burning and pain in my right arm due to the pinched nerves at the c5-c6. The surgeon used the LDR ROI-C device and not the plate and screws. He also used stem cells and not a bone graph. I am just over 24 hours post op and I am back at home. I have a little pain but it is being controlled by the medicine fairly well. I am not in a collar and I have fairly good range of motion with my neck. All in all I feel great right now.

Does anyone have any advice on what to expect over the next few days and weeks. I have 30 days off of work so I should be able to have a proper recovery. Also does anyone else have any experience with the ROI-c device, I had not heard of it before my surgeon told me about it.

Thanks in advance for any replies
