@loriesco I think you are right! It healed. It’s crazy what a long process this is but when you turn around and look back, you’re like what? I don’t feel that same pain anymore.
So happy you are doing better! 😊

@sherrym25 In my case, I didn't get as much of a result as I had hoped. The first cervical spine surgery was AMAZING. Unbelievable. But my bones were too soft to hold the screws. So they had to go in from the back and stick a rod in from C2 to T1? I forgot. It was a big surgery. I have to get back into rehab but I am working right now (at 69!) But, the worst of the pain is gone from the compression. Now its myomuscular because I have work related overuse (because I work too much!) Ah well, it is what it is. And I feel blessed that there is some improvement. My lumbar surgery was AMAZING. But it was 8 years ago and I probably will need more soon. At least I am doing what I want albeit slower. 😉
