That sounds pretty rough. Sorry you are going through all this. How did the determine you had cervical infections? I had a fusion at c5-c6 and like you it was OK for a couple of months then it was horrible. For me its continued to be that way. My arms and hands spasm really bad as well as my feet. No one knows why. Mri said osteophytes are pressing on my esophagus and could be causing swallowing issues. You got this!!! Fighting sucks but what choice do we have. I am a walking infomercial lol. I have bought so many things to try to take away the pain. The Chirp wheel works pretty well. I am still figuring out what to do. If I come up with anything I will let you know
