@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.
