My MRI is posted. My diagnosis is Cervical Disc Displacement and Cervical Spinal Stenosis. This injury happened at work on 10/23/2012. My symtoms are pain,pain and more pain.`After a bad experience with a bad Workers Comp Dr. I retained an attorney and I do have an Orthopedic Surgeon that I do respect and after several visits I do have confidence in his word and his work. Personally I am not 100% sure if I want surgery,, I am at a stage that my pain is unbearable and I dont know what else to do.
My surgery is scheduled for 5/28/2013. My question is if anyone has had a similar surgery and if so,,I would appreciate to hear results. I am not savvy on the terminology but I will do the best I can to describe my future surgery.
I am having 3 level surgery. C4-C5 C5-C6 C6-C7. ACDF Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
I would like to know results like,,is your pain level less or ??? are you able to do your activities like you did before neck problems ?? Have you had more surgery after the 1st surgery.
I appreciate any help I can get.I love this forum. Hugs to All....Annie
