similar to JSS, I too have fusion at 4/5/6 peek cage at 3/4, which I wouldn't have done that one! thankfully my facet are in good shape going to Clavel for adr c6/7/t1 early may. I feel I have no choice even with the concerns post op back here. they are only giving me two options here: more fusion or do nothing either of which I'm screwed! prayers are welcomed. I feel that I have waiting to long, symptoms are so bad, and we don't leave for four weeks! we have to wire at least 65% of our money today. taking that plunge is  scary!!!
