@gaylemp what surgery did you get for your spinal cord compression, if you had one already? And what was your experience with it and the recovery?

@llannii They did a corpectomy(removed disk/?vertebrae put in spacer and fused vertebrae c5-7 I believe, or C4-6. Recovery was 6-8 weeks, but able to drive within 4 weeks as I recall. I still have pain/tightness and sometimes what I call “zingers”. When a certain movement causes sudden sharp shooting pain, only lasts a few seconds thank God!
I’m told I need surgery in low back as well, similar issues with what I believe is a milder cord compression.
