Hi donna, thank you for asking. I had fusion at C-6-7 six years ago. They had to re-do that and from C-3-7. I have DJD,and I had continued to degenerate very badly. The surgery was very hard to do, and I was afraid. I came to this site to look for others, who experience this kind of thing, and many other different and hard to face medical problems. I was blessed to find this site. How are you? I am really new to this site, just found it in the nick of time. I would be glad to hear from you anytime. ginnie
