I am so sorry you had to go through all that by yourself. I can't imagin that. I had failed C6-7 followed by C3-7. Only with two surgeries not three. I am sickened that your doctor didn't follow up well with you. That doesn't seems right. Do you have pain management doc? After a year, how are you doing regarding movement in your neck? I am three years post Op. Not perfect by any means but OK for now. I wish you had more support at home while you go through all this. Do the PT. If it is done right it doesn't hurt, just a bit of ache. It helped me alot, and I got some good massage as well. Let me know how you are. ginnie
