"If you're experiencing severe neck/back pain, I recommend considering disc replacement," Musk shared in a post on X.com.
"If you do this, err on the side of a disc with limited motion. A simple hinge is more likely to be more effective than a high-mobility artificial disc that can translate as well as rotate," They said.
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX noted that disc replacement helped reduce his pain levels, which can range from mild, annoying pain to severe, disabling pain.
"It's a game-changer. My pain level went from 7 to 9 out of 10 to 1 to 4," Muss said.
Disc replacement surgery is mainly performed on people suffering from severe neck pain (cervical disc) and back pain (lumbar disc). Surgery involves removing the diseased disc tissue and placing an artificial disc implant.
An artificial disc made of surgical metals (such as surgical stainless steel or titanium) and special plastic bearings allows the natural movement of the spinal cord while remaining securely attached to the surrounding vertebral bones.
