ACDF? Anterior cervical discectomy infusion? I’ve had that if that’s what you meant

well now.... saw a DIFFERENT ortho doc yesterday due to horrendous neck pain for the past 6 months but has been on going for over a year. Come to find out that my fusion between C 4 /5 did not fuse after all this time and that's why I'm in so much pain. Will be having yet another surgery. 🙁

Mine did not take. I went to see a different neurosurgeon and was told I should have had done a laminectomy done instead. This surgery has to be repeated every 10 years the ACDF. I have to have my esophagus regularly scoped and ballooned a known side effect. The ACDF press up against the esophagus, I had it start immediately after the surgery. It narrows the esophagus.Ask a lot of questions mine was due from a seizure it was not elective surgery.
