Is there any home devise for neck fusions

Posted by yacoi @yacoi, Aug 22, 2025

I had neck spinal fusion. I'd like to know of an effective electric devise for pain relief. There are many advertisers. Id like some recommendations.

I had neck pain for 2 years before I had surgery. The radiologist’s report said I had mild to moderate arthritis. My family doctor couldn’t believe that I had so much pain! He increased the ibuprofen and then prescribed morphine patch and then fentanyl patches with no relief. I even tried CBD under a doctors care and other CBD products with no relief. When I saw a neurosurgeon in Kirkland, Wa he told me that I had severe arthritis and the C1-4 was fused by the arthritis and he couldn’t operate on it. I had the three and a half hour surgery at a clinic in the US as the wait time to see a neurosurgeon was 5 months and a one year for surgery in Canada. It has been quite a journey but there are others worse than me.

Thanks Joanne. Wow I had no idea arthritis could fuse vertebrae. That's scary.

I'm trying to avoid lumbar fusion. I exercise daily to keep my core strong, and my lumbar spine protected. But your story has convinced me to get xrays at least once a year. Thanks so much for sharing your story.

All the best to you.

Joe
