I'm scheduled for ACDF surgery in July, at UofMN, with only C7 disc being removed, a spacer inserted, etc. I was told my range of motion will be the same after the surgery, as before. My issues have been with my left arm and hand.

@carolweso91 Welcome to Connect. You're right about range of motion with just one level fairly low in your neck being fused. I have C5/C6 fused and my range of motion is the same except that I cannot bend my chin to my chest, but it is fairly close. Take it easy and rest a lot during your recovery.
