We are an educational and supportive group for members that have had ADR and thinking about ADR surgery. We are a very open and candid group that will speak and keep every conversation open and unfiltered. We do not support any doctors or groups. Members that have had surgery with a doctor and a device of course are supported to talk about their experiences good and bad. No one will be booted unless the group thinks a person is being out of the norm. Be supportive, be educational and lastly be helpful.
We are not connected to, reimbursed by any surgeon or device company. Our work is all volunteer from our surgery, our jobs and our research. Please note, like anything it’s our opinions on what we have learned.
Professional or personal experience

I am nearing my surgery date this month, It is going to be a Cervical Hybrid multiple levels including removing old hardware. I did have an ACDF in 2020 covering C3,4 and 5. The ACDF was very good until I messed it up by falling and landing on my back.
Where my concerns are would be
1. I am a mechanic and spend a lot of time under dash boards on cars. I am very tall and have to use part of shoulders and the back of my head to support my weight during these jobs.
2. High voltage on electric and hybrid cars is 600 to 800 volts.
I would deeply appreciate any opinions on risks with art. disk shifting if I use my neck/head to support my weight and or ricks of shock thru art. discs or plates and screws used during the Hybrid surgery.
I am not changing the operation, If needed I will change careers.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts you may have.
