"The spinal surgeon the Packers trust the most, Los Angeles-based Robert Watkins, has told other surgeons he won't clear players to return to the field when one of the fused discs is C-3 or higher."

That would include Finley, right?

I think the Packers have moved on anyway, and from a football standpoint, I'd rather nobody else had Finley doing good things for them either.

C3 and C4 vertebrae for Finley


"Nick Collins, a three-time Pro Bowl safety, was released by the Packers in 2012 after he suffered a herniated disc between the C3 and C4 vertebrae and underwent single spinal-fusion surgery."



Sterling Sharpe, who suffered a C1-C2 disk injury late in the 1994 season;
Gary Berry, who suffered a bruised spinal column as a rookie in 2000;
Terrence Murphy, who suffered a bruised spinal cord as a rookie in 2005;
Tony Palmer, who suffered a fractured vertebrae in 2007;
Jeremy Thompson, who suffered a bruised spinal cord in practice in 2009.



Sean Richardson, who suffered a neck injury last year and underwent spinal fusion surgery to fuse the C5 and C6 vertebrae

C-3 is specific point (Location) in the spine. I had to look it up of course, but as you see... Not a good area to be messing with.

People think that getting surgery is the answer - just had a patient come to me yesterday and she spent 10 mins talking about her husband whom had 'close to spinal fusion surgery' for his spine a couple years ago. Well he had a 'relapse' and had severe symptoms again and was carted off to do surgery again; she said how they didnt want to fuse it yet because he is too young (32) and they said they fuse-ing the vertebrae in someone this young would not be a good thing.

While some things in the UK I dont like at least they got a bit more sense to some of their patients - not like the states which the medical field is more governed by $. Before I left for the UK I know someone that was 19 that had spinal fusion due to a disc bulge.

My originally point being - the guy probably shouldnt have had surgery in the first place (dont remember his exact symptoms) - and expecting surgery to fix the cause of the problem is the problem because it does not. The problem isnt a disc bulge pushing on the spinal cord; it is why is it pushing on the spinal cord.

Do you know you can take MRIs of 10 random people without symptoms and it will show 3 with impingements to their spinal cord or nerve roots.
