I had my 1st surgery C3 C4 and trimmed C5.This was
in 2006 and it went reasonably good.I still had some
pain but it was so much better that I talked a family
member into having it done.Then in 2008 pain returned
in arm and shoulder and I thought my left eye was
going to pop out.Back to same neurosurgeon and had
surgery C5 C6, he removed old hardware and replaced
with new.After I awoke from surgery I knew something
was wrong,I could not use left arm and pain was still
there.I went to therapy for 3 month and was finally
told to stop.I was left with extreme weakness in left
arm and can't raise it above shoulder. I have little control

of it and pain worse than before.I was left with no
voice and the icing on top was my surgeon was kill
in a plane crash,his own plane.I am currently in
Pain management and in process of deciding on
a spinal stimulator implant . I wish you the best of
luck,but there are risk as I live them now!
