so sorry this happened to you. Did they give you a reason why you failed to fuse? I had anterior fusions C3-7 have long rods and brackets in. What are they telling you to do now? Do you have a plate or rods in? I am here to talk to. You can also post your last MRI report, and some of us can help you with it. I really hope there is a solution for you, to where your neck can feel better. I am very familiar with the pain it causes, so I am hoping more can be done for you. ginnie
