Hi i'm from Indonesia. Glad to know this forum and read a lot of information about cervical surgery.
I am only 38 female and is being scheduled for cervical myelopathy surgery by next week. My ortopaedic surgeon suggest an acdf on c5-c6.
After reading all posts i am a bit frightened that the surgery might bring my condition worse than before. The most scary thing that i might have to re-do the fusion on the up and down level of the previous surgery.
I have numbness in my both hand palms, severe pain in my neck when i am standing too long and i have difficulty in walking also..
Until now i still dont have firm decision for surgery.
