Im new here and dont know how to do my own post so Im starting by replying to others. My heart goes out to everyone. I had C5/C6 ACDF Oct 2011. I felt better at first but then went down hill. On Dec 10 2012 I wil be having anterior C5 & C6 corpectomy, C4/5 & C6/7 fusion, and posterior wiring. I have been trying to find anyone that can give me some info. The nurse told me that its going to be a long and painful recovery. I cant find anyone that has had this much done to give me a personal point of view. Someone please help me.
