met with doc and discussed this procedure. I have been reading a lot of post about this same fusion and I am honestly more scared to under go this. I though I was just needing c6\7 but was told c5-7.

Does anyone know how much range looking up\down l\r I will lose. I had a slight bulge in c5\6 from a minor injury in 2006 then i was in a nast car accident las year and I have several discs in my neck that are messed up. the c5-7 are the worst. I am concerned about doing this and then down the road having to undergo surgery again.

Has anyone had the artificial disc replacement? i forgot to ask the doc about that today. i get overwhelmed with all of the info thrown at me since my head injury, same car accident.

I dont want to be in pain but I dont want to dwindle to a total sedentary only restriction for the rest of my life. I need advice, not feeling to good right now
