Seawind,
Yes, I did have good results with my cervical surgery. You do not say what levels...
I had a 360 cervical fusion, with a plate in the front and rods and screws in the back. I have no regrets and most of the pain is gone. I have, unfortunately, new problems with my cervical spine though, so we are watching that now.
All of my pain was gone immediately after this surgery. My surgeon woke me from my deep sleep and asked about pain levels and if it was gone...Go for it! Of course, this is just my opinion and I am not a doctor.
I want to add that I hope you have gotten at least two other opinons on this surgery. I had many, many opinons before I allowed him to do anything.
Good luck
