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

@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.

I have thought about it but follow up would be difficult.
I was there in August with my achalasia and was kind of disappointed because after 10 days of testing they sent me home with a diagnosis of inconclusive. They said you have achalasia here, possible nutcracker esophagus here and esophageal outflow obstruction here so we can't give you a definitive diagnosis.
Also, the main concern is I have spondylitis through out my entire spine with in less than 8 months since previous scan now shows multiple hemangioma's throughout the entire spine.
Not sure where to go, turn at this point.
