[Hi, and no that spinal stuff is horrible. I have DDD and DJD. Had fusion at C-6-7. Now I present with the others C3-7 degenerated to heck six years later. I got a good new NS. My disease just is one of the not so good kind, but not all degenerative disease, progress this bad. I was also told, no guarantees, because it is in all my joints, not just my Cervical. I have no idea what else can be done for these diseases. Mine started with an auto immune problem. Alot of people on this site have auto immune problems, with the degenerative diseases. In my case I know they are related. Please share if you care to what they said about your condition you are in right now?
