Sorry you are having cervical issues. I did too. I have had two fusions. I didn't act until I was in danger. I guess if I had to do it over again, I would have chosen surgery sooner than I did. The second one, I was just plain afraid, so I waited and did PT. Again, maybe I should have gone ahead sooner. My fusions turned out very good, so there can be good surgical solutions. My MRI also said SEVERE, that is usually when they want to do surgery. I wish you all the best, and the very best resolution you can have. ginnie
