Default ACDF c3-c6

Hi all!!!

I am still new here. My NS and I have decided that if this epidural steroid injection in my neck works as well as the one they did in l5/s1
(it didnt) that we will opt for the acdf. I have had back pain, due to double curve from idiopathic scoliosis. However, NEVER have I had anything that hurts this bad and has kept me so far down. I have gone down to 3 short shifts at work, resting more and more of my days and basing everything I do on my pain level day to day. I used to be so busy it was a rariety to have a lazy day. WE have gradnchildren that we spend most of our free time with, used to go to the gym @least 3-4 days a week and worked a lot. This is humbling and @ times totally embarrassing. Im so disappointed and discouraged. I have done PT etc. Its not ljust my cervical area but thorasic, and lumbar as well..... I have pain in and nymbness and tingling left arm left leg, constant headaches and PAIN.... Will ACDF help with all of it? I have stenosis, herniated disc, ddd, and bulging? per MRI. Lumbar was not clear because of movement. However, my NS didnt reorder it He said no stenosis in lumbar. Sorry so long and boring just wanting help!!!
