I have a herniated disc at C4-5 that is pressing on the nerve and a few more herniations that aren't causing me pain. I've also been told that I may have bone spurs.
I met with an orthopaedic surgeon today and he wants to do ACDF. He made it sound like it wouldn't be a big deal, but after reading posts and learning about the surgery, I don't think I want to do it. I've tried the cortisone shots, physical therapy and pain meds (still on them) but nothing worked long-term Also, I've had to quit my job because of the pain. If you've had this surgery, can you please tell me if it was worth it? Thanks |
