Mike, I had C6-C7 fused and the pain relief was almost immediate. Quick recovery and a much better quality of life. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine.

I had c5-c6 fused about nine years ago. I was in extreme pain before I had the surgery. When I woke up in the recovery room I had immediate relieve! The doctor told me not to do anything physical for about a month except walk. After that I did a little physical therapy and I gradually went back to doing things that I would normally do. I have not had any problems since then and I do not regret it one bit! I'll be praying for a speedy recovery!

Mike,

I had same issue and same proceedure 19 years ago. I was elk hunting in Colorado and climbing a long gentle upgrade always looking up the hill and that finally did me in. When I got back from the hunt, I went straight to the OR. It's been great ever since. You'll be uglier than usual for a few days, but it will be well worth it.

Well I also had it done, C4 C5 , was still on the Altanta Fire Dept. then, its been way over 10 yrs. I have had great success. It got so bad that I could not draw a bow at all, lol, guess that is when I decided to get it done! Only stayed off work for 3 mths. But on the first run that my ladder truck had upon returning for duty we had a WRECK! Guess I should have stayed off work a little longer, but no harm was done. Hope this helps, its always good to hear from people that have had that type surgery.

Glad you will soon be feeling better, Mike.
I know I have a bow in the works, and figured it would be late anyway, so don't bust a hump over it. I have already gotten three new ones this year. Happens every time I make up my mind to thin the herd.

Can you feel the positive vibes yet? Here, I'll send more...

Mike,
Had the same thing done about 7 years ago...DO what the doc' say! Rest, post-ops and rehab. I will never 100%, but I couldn't take the constant pain and numbness! You're feel better as time goes by. Good Luck!

Mike, I had c-5, c-6 fused and have a plate running from 4-7. Had it done in 2002, other than the scar it is like nothing has ever been done. Best Wishes!
