I am freaking out about my simplify nuvassive cervical disc
27 F. I had a C5-6 disc replacement about a year and a half ago. I am just realizing there is a massive risk of developing osteolysis from the PEEK coating... Does that mean I am way more likely to have to undergo a fusion since it has such an accelerated osteolysis rate? I am so devasted ther surgery was so difficult to heal from and I expected it to last 15 years or longer :(
