Hello and welcome to Neuro Talk. I have had this surgery. C3-7, more levels. If you have done all other therapies and nothing worked, you are right it is time to do something about it. Just make sure you have more than one opinion with a good neuro surgeon.
My surgery turned out good. I am very much better than what I was. However it is not 100%. Pain exists but is tolerable. I take tramadol for the most part.
It took several weeks of really being uncomfortable before I started to mend.
I wish you all the best. ginnie
