Jeff,

Sep 19 I had posterior fusion of C3-7 with laminectomies. I thought I had lower back trouble until I started losing the use of my right arm, dropping things and couldn't raise my arms or lift my arms etc...

I am currently 4 weeks out and my life has changed dramatically.

I am 49 and I have spent over 30 + years with lower back, leg, feet, hip etc pain. In 2010 things turned for the worse and my arms and legs became severely spastic with lots of other spinal cord problems.

Currently I have no - none - zero - pain from my waist down....I can walk up right and I am still in total shock at how incredible my surgical out come was. My surgery was for my NECK - and a severely compressed spinal cord.

The doctor's did not say anything about my legs getting better or coming out of surgery with no pain . So I am living a miracle - I just can't believe it.

I am still healing with my neck and my arms are sore but that is to be expected.

I will have my 5 week Xrays at the end of this week and will let you know how it goes.

I was very worried about having any surgery on my neck prior to the surgery and now I just can't believe it.

I will keep you in my prayers.
