Hi
 

Hello everyone.
I found this site yesterday and am so glad I did.
Tomorrow I will be having ACDF (think thats what its called) and having alot of anxiety about it.
At this point I am willing to about anything to alleviate this pain.
If there is anyone out there that can calm my nerves about this surgery it would be greatly appreciated.
AJ

Hi, Dibble! :Wave-Hello: Welcome to NeuroTalk!

What kind of condition are we talking about? I'd like to help you find a forum where the folks understand your situation. :)

Hi and Welcome to NT. I don't know what the ACDF stands for; can you elaborate?

I'm glad you are here tho, as NT has many great forums and a bunch of wonderful folks here. :welcome_sign:

Acdf
 

--stands for Anterior Cervical Disectomy and Fusion. (Also Aggregated Coastal Diffusion Fisheries, but I don't think that's a neurological condition. :p)

Good to have you at Neurotalk; have you taken a look at our collection of info and expertise at the Spinal Disorders forum yet?

Hi,
Thanks to everyone for the welcome.
My problem is 2 herniated cervical discs and severe spinal stenosis in c5/6 and 6/7. I had surgery Thursday and its amazing that the pain in my arm is already gone.
Again, thanks for the welcome and pointing me in the right direction on the forum.
