I was bone on bone as well. I have the concern that your pain however should have gone down a bit, not get worse. How far into recovery are you time wise? will reply later, have an appt. Take a deep breath, this can and does have resolution alot. My rod is C3-7 and crooked. first at C6-7 didn't resolve, had another C3-7. I am OK for the most part. I will get back to you. You can PM anytime too. ginnie
