thank you, I will check it out. I am pretty desperate for some kind of help. I also have RA and copd which is not helping

I suspect that you had a good surgeon because you had a year's relief. Now something has changed. May have nothing to do with the surgery, though may. Symptoms sound ( I say without medical degree, though with some experience) as though something is pressing against the ventral sack of the spinal cord. It may be an enlarged ligament or a disc either (perhaps) related to cervical instability.
Some places will look at your images at no cost. I would send them to centenoschultz as they offer the service. There is a doctor who does revision surgeries in Los Angeles Rasoulispine 320-421-0066. He's pretty amazing You may not be considering and probably don't need revision.
What you need is more information.
Good that you quit the meds, if the pain isn't too much to bear. I think they can make you passive and/or depressed.
I hope more people send you names of physicians.
Bless your search.

Your situation can be frustrating for sure. I agree with the idea of obtaining some additional and new diagnoses. I would also suggest seeing a neurosurgeon over an ortho...you already have an ortho's advice.
