doctors here want to...
place rods at the c2/3 to fuse the facet joints and leave the disc in place and possibly fuse the c6/7. I will not allow anymore fusion; so unless I win the lottery so I go can go to Europe, guess it's drugs. i hate pills.

i can send my mri to one of the adr docs in Europe to see what they would even do if i could go, but money is the only thing and that's one big thing!
