Idid have surgery about 3 years ago on my c5 c6 where they took my bone form my hip an fused itto my discs it was such a releive not to have the pain and the tingling down left arm and the fingers and hands. When I got done with the operation the the only part that I hated was wearing the neck brace for 6 weeks. My neck did not hurt at all actually it was the hip thatwassore . Beleive me I tried everything from therpy to injections to wearing the fenenal patch. I am so glad that I went through the operation. Good luck with you decision.
