upcoming acdf surgery...
 

Hi all! I'm new here and VERY nervous about my upcoming surgery. It will be in about 6 weeks, unless my doc is not going out of town at the end of the month, in which case it will be in about 2 weeks. :eek:
I will be having a 3 level (C4-5, C5-6, & C6-7) acdf surgery with hardware.
What it is, is 3 bulging discs pressing on my spinal cord. There is some signal abnormality and myelomalacia. (sp?) I have pain between my shoulder-blades that radiates down my arms, as well as numbness and tingling there. I notice I fatigue MUCH easier than normal in my arms and legs as well.

Well, it's nice to meet you guys, and I'll be looking around for more info on it here, and if anyone wants to share any links, or your own experience feel free! :D
