My Mother (71) had those done in the '80s. She had to have them removed in the late '90s.
She was part of a class action suit and actually got some cash from the manufacturer.

Removed?

I don't think so...not for me.


The fussion failed and the docs solution was to add rods on the sides of the BAC cages for support and then take them out 2 years later.

I said no thanks...

Sorry to hear about your pain Stgar15.  I'm glad you're the type of person who can take the shit and still share with all us idiots who you are.  You have a rare strength.

Does that 'just happen' or is it the result of being too highspeed?

That just happens or you can go too 'highspeed' and have it happen too.
But as you age the discs degenerate. So they are easier to injure. Some of our discs degenerate to the point of herniations no matter what we do.....

Sorry you are hurtin Baby.....
