Anyone had multilevel cervical spine reconstruction surgery?

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me. I appreciate your honesty and your willingness to give the full picture, even when it’s not an easy one to tell. What you’ve endured over the years sounds incredibly heavy, and I’m sorry that your journey has involved so much pain and loss of quality of life.
Hearing both the success of your cervical surgery and the complications that followed elsewhere is sobering, but also helpful as I try to make informed decisions rather than operate from denial or fear alone. I respect the strength it takes to keep going, especially living with chronic pain, and I’m glad you’ve found some relief with the pump, even if it came after so much hardship.
Thank you again for your openness and for sharing your experience so thoughtfully—it truly means a lot to me as I navigate what comes next.

@steelme43 I do believe in transparency. And felt that my cervical success was just one part of the story. And as you navigate your future health care please reach out and ask me anything. Ive probably had it done. Total hip replacement, knee replacement, SI fusion, Pleural Effusion, Apnea surgery(failed), 2 SCS, and 2 morphine pumps, 100’s of nerve blocks
(transforaminal & caudal), steroid injections, trigger point and piriformis injections, RFA’s(radio frequency ablations) and my tonsils out at 5. I can’t take credit for all the strength it took to keep going. My family, friends and my best 4 legged friend Max, were a constant source of support. However, the first ten years, suicidal ideations were a permanent part of my thinking. I never attempted it, but it was like knowing there was a back door if I really needed it. Gods love kept me alive.
