What’s the patient's diagnosis—and what kind of surgery are we talking about?

If they're covered by Medicare, Dr. Smith at Mayo Clinic is probably your best bet.

It's amyloidosis. From what I gathered, her vertebrae are basically shot and they need to be removed because they're causing all this pain.

I'm honestly just wondering how risky these kinds of procedures actually are and if they even make a difference, because I'm freaking out about my mom and the last thing I want is for things to go south.😢

Hey everyone!

So, I’ve got a question for you all...
My mom is scheduled to have surgery on her C5-C6 and C6-C7 discs. She's headed to a specialist in Chicago to see a neurosurgeon, Dr. Miller. I was wondering if anyone here has any firsthand experience with him—is he actually any good? Also, if anyone can shed some light on what the actual procedure is like or how the recovery process plays out, I’d really appreciate the insight.

Thanks in advance! 🙂
