Default Opinions on ACDF surgery

Hi ! Newbie here with a request for opinions. I have a mess for a neck and multiple levels of varying degrees of disease. C3-7 all have degenerative disc disease and bone spurring. C4-7 are very diseased with the above and disc bulging with mild cord compression at C4-6. C3-C6 also have stnosis in the central cord areas as well as the other foramen. Looking down the barrel of a two level fusion . I understand it will help stabilize the issues I have at those levels. MY QUESTION (finally) is will I continue to have the pain and radiculopathy from the levels that are not being fused ? What have you experienced. I have heard that I will be trading one pain for another. My spinal cord compression of course is the most concerning, but I had hoped the surgery would help all of the pains and aches. What is your experience ? Has your ACDF given any of you pain relief completely when only 2 levels were fused ? THANKS you all !
