Second time around. Need information
 

I had a spinal fusion and laminectomy on C-3 to T-1 several years ago.

I also had two lumbar fusions because I rejected one.

I was on the verge of crawling when I found a great pain specialist (Anesthesiologist pain ) NOT A PHYSCH who told me to forget the pain. She goes in 'electrocates the nerves and I am telling you it makes me feel human. Occasional tylenol and some ice are all that is necessary. She does repeat treatments as necessary. I love not taking drugs!

Before the pain specialist, I was doing great on the neck. Now I was feeling pain and I wondered if it was because I was just adjusting how I walked due to the pain relief.

Upon Xrays and MRI, a stress fracture was found n T-2 and C-3-4 was bad as well.

So the doc (I trust him) wants to remove the hardware and fuse me from C-2 to T-3.

Anyone else have this large a section done?

Thanks a lot.
