Sorry this is my 1'st ever post. Well in may 06 I had a acdf of c5-6. Went back to work in aug 06 I love my job. Now pain is worse than ever , scheduled for a posterior revision acdf c5-6 on april 18. Doc says he has to clean up the mess the other doc did. he also said this one is alot more painful. Has anyone had this done, how painful is it when were you able to return to work? my doc says I can go back in 3 months I I have to lift 100lbs at my job but i love my job. also How long is hospital stay and what kind of med will I need. Thanks to anyone and everyone and God Bless.
