Hi, I had C-3 to T-1. I had slept on ice for about 11 years. (ok !! years. Pain meds mess up my bowels.) I went to a specialist who recommend a Doctor at a teaching hospital. I also have Fibromyalgia so he was well versed on that as well.

The surgery (done anterior and posterior) went well and I knew I had surgical pain when I woke up but I knew the neck pain was gone. No more ice for me.

I go to a pain specialist and she is a anesthesiologist and I get infusions that take care of the pain. I don't take many pain pills. She does "denervations. I would be in a wheel chair if she didn't work her magic on me.

Just go to sleep in a good mood and dream it's going to work. Have faith.
