Hello. 2 failed neck fusions + post op bleed.

@mrmacabre hello. Did your surgeries take away the pain? I am coming up on my third radio frequency nerve ablation and waiting for a consultation with a Neurosurgeon. This last time my symptoms were severe (right neck pain travels down my arm, spasms and numbness. ) I can't tolerate alot of medication though Meloxicam and Effexor has started to help. I am fearful of surgery, yet recent x-rays are now showing pressure on my spinal cord in addition to the compression at C5 and C6.. I am 66 yo and would like to be active again!

@reenieb I'm also 66 years old, but my procedures all happened when I was in my 50's. Yes, my neck pain has basically been gone ever since the surgeries were performed. I was having random stabs of pain that felt like I was being shocked for a couple of years before my first fusion in late 2016 IIRC. After the first procedure they were about 90% better, and after my second surgery they've basically been nonexistent.
