neuro cervical spine doc tells me I'm too old for successful C5-6 ACDF procedure. I'm 83 and was active until now.

@retiredx3 Will you be seeking other opinions? There may be other factors that can affect the ability to heal after fusion surgery such as bone density and other health issues. It is worth asking other doctors if this is the case and if anything can improve your chances. Sometimes surgery isn't the best answer, and perhaps physical therapy can help ease symptoms a bit.
