neck/back surgery

I had a fusion C5 C6 in 2005 and I came out worse than I was before. No relief of arm pain and my headaches did not clear up and actually got worse. Strength is still bad in the arm.

Would I do it again? No; but that is me. I have 2 friends that also had the surgery, one came out great and one even worse than me. Not all doctors are the same and results differ.

I wish you well in whatever choice you make and hope your pain goes away.
