Hello, I've had 10 neck surgeries in all. I had two failed fusions also in the beggining. 2 different levels. Ever read about the domino effect? I'm pretty shocked to hear You had two surgeries on one level. If you can possibly avoid another surgery, please do so! I'm no doc, but after all was said and done ten years later w/halo too!. I'm awake posting to you spinies AT 1:45A.M. Wish you much luck! Hugs too, WTR Nymph
