Has anyone had this done ? What were symptoms leading up to it? I was told 3 yrs ago I will probably need it .. and I think time has come .. thanks
I have had 2 ACDF's....one before decompression and one (the level just below the 1st fusion) 2 years after decompression.
My sx's were severe neck pain radiating to shoulders .
Good luck.
The recoup was a breeze for me...I know everyone is different..but, both fusions were very tolerable.
I just got home from the hospital yesterday from having that same surgery. And compared to the decompression it was a breeze. I can't tell u the outcome yet it's still too early. My pain was really bad on the left side of neck shoulder and down my arms. I hope it works ask me again in a few weeks. Lol
Razzle, I’m sorry you are in pain. I hope they get it fixed for soon! Please keep us posted so we can keep you in our sites.
My last fusion was done at 9pm and I went home the next morning at 9am. I can turn my head without issue.
