Instability Issues ???

I'm in a real bind. I have a relatively normal MRI with a bulge at C6/7 which was found after a car accident in December 2014. After 8 months of failed conservative treatments, I was told by a neurosurgeon (Penn Medicine) that I have Spinal Instability at C6 where C6 shifts backwards 5mm when my neck is in flexion. He said I need a fusion. My spine is being compressed at C6/7 which is why my hands and feet go numb when I look down. I then went back to LA to find a surgeon in LA to recover at home. I've seen several doctors who don't see the instability, including UCLA Spine.
Where would I find help on this site? Could you guide me and/or place this message to see if someone else had a similar problem?
Cheers,
Tom
