A member asked:
I had disc replacement in my neck, at c5/c6. how long until full recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you mean an : Artificial disc you are looking at about 3 months with resolution of symptoms other than just preop pain which is about the same if you had a fusion. This assumes you are in good health and are not a smoker with no peri operative complications.
