Wait Wait Wait.There is a reason for you to sign all
the papers, telling you that it may not reduce your pain.
And for so many of us to still have pain and even more
after surgery well ( Here's you sign )!!!!
No surgery is the best surgery on your spine.
Good luck to you on this decision.

I had my 1st surgery in 1994 a laminectomy of C3-4. I was already fused C4-C7 non surgical. I had such severe stenois I had no choice. After the surgery I could no longer lift my head. Had at least a 20% lean forward. Went to therapy, it didnt help.
In March 2010 found out that now fused posterior C2-C4 and fully fused T1-T3. Had surgery in October to fuse anterior C2-C4 and insert rods from C2-C5 to lift my head up a bit as I was having trouble breathing. I'm still in hard collar until next week (God willing) and I have numbness throughout entire body. I am on several meds for pain, main thing is I can walk. Not perfect but at least I can. I have a 9 level fusion.
I never thought this could happen to me, but this is my life, I'm learrning to deal with it.
