Yes, I did have a second spinal fusion C3-7. I still have some pain, and take some medication for it. However the pain in my arms is gone. Mostly I have left over pain at above and below the site of fusion.
I sure hope your surgery goes OK. It isn't easy to face. Hope you got all the opinions you can before deciding in this direction. I was lucky that I got as much relief as I did. My first fusion I didn't get much relief at all. Let me know how you are doing. We will be here to support you as you go through this. That is why I joined NT too. ginnie
