I'm sorry to hear your neck is in such bad shape. I've had 4 levels operated on in my neck and am much better now. I don't know much about docs near you, but the Texas Back Institute does ADR clinical trials, which means they will perform multi-level ADR surgery; obviously, I cannot say whether they would do a 4 level cervical or if you would be a candidate, but it might be worth a phone call. Sure hope you're able to get some relief. My problems are similar to yours - multitudinous small injuries in my youth, add 30+ years of arthritis and Presto! Big problems - just like you - many years later! Sure hope you will feel much better after surgery and find a surgery and doctor you feel comfortable with. Please let us know how you do.
