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
The reason I was given for them not fusing was the operating doctor told me it had a 90% success rate. I fell into that 10% category! I've been to three different doctors now for their opinions. Best quote is 80%. One was 50% and the other doctor said not to bother. I am going to see a doctor at the Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine group in a few weeks. Will see what information he has to shine on this. And to think, all I wanted to do going into this was to be able to swing a golf club again. Yikes!
