Welcome to Neuro Talk. You have been though the ringer with your back. I can't figure out why they fused your neck into a position where you looked down. Is the hardware all the way from C3-Pelvis? Wouldn't they have to remove hardware, and replace it? This would have me concerned too Cherd. I am not sure what I would do either. Have you had multipal opinions?
Would like to hear a bit more about what your doctor plans to do with this C6-7.I am not sure doing just one, would make your whole neck and spine straight. You have had so much surgery already Cherd, I wish I knew more about your particular condition. Leesa is the best at understanding MRI's etc. So sorry you have had to go through so much. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
