I had C5, C6, & C7 fused, but he was questioning whether to do C4 also. I'm told not to expect to see any fusion until the 6 month mark so that's when i will be allowed to return to work.
Not really complaining about it, since I'm getting benefits while I"m off, no use pushing myself and hurting myself worse. But I did question why it would be so long, and I was told for what my problem and injury was, 6 months was normal.
Every situation seems to be different, huh?
