I could use some feedback from anyone who has had cervical fusion.

My fear of the anterior approach could damage my swallowing issues that I already have.
I have achalasia which sometimes makes even liquid going down difficult. My last modified barium swallow showed I have right side paralysis from my swallowing down.
I have diffuse c-4 to c-7 narrowing with cord compression but no one wants to touch it 🤷♀️

@cheryl46 I know that surgeons at Mayo have been able to operate on professional singers for cervical spine with good results. They can also do surgery from the back. Would coming to Mayo be possible for you? I was a case that surgeons didn’t want to touch because they didn’t understand my symptoms. I had spinal cord compression in my neck and coming to Mayo gave me my life back.
