I have multi-level issues C5-C7 C3-c4
Thanks for listening

Hi Eric,
I did not have any facet joint issues; however, I would imagine docs would do ACDF in this instance. Perhaps not even to prevent the discs from failing, but rather, your facet pain would not go away even if you had all of the bad discs replaced. I'm not a doc... just my opinion.
