I don't really know, but if they took them out you are probably suffering from scar tissue. I had to have plates,screws,and wire in my neck, I blew out 3 disc out while I was at work I will never have the mobility or work at a full time job. but I truly believe that it is scar tissue.Health Question & Answer
