@rjdm1, @ethanmcconkey, Good afternoon. I wanted to thank you for sharing your treatment results. It helps other members understand both issues and opportunities.

In 2013, I had ACDF surgery. At that point I would just sit on the edge of the bed and cry at night when the pain prevented sleep. My Orthopedic surgeon met with the surgeon who had recently done his surgery and they decided I needed an immediate ACDF and fusion, I was more relaxed and comfortable with their joint decision making, Relaxed??? Did I say Relaxed? I trust my orthopedic surgeon and that helped. Be safe and protected. Chris

I almost forgot. The surgery was successful for a lot of my pain and disability in arms and legs. Then came the neuropathy. And we know that is a bit of a struggle every day. Chris

That’s a great thing your doctors do - I currently am waiting for my appt at Mayo and I hope the experience is different then the one I’m having here at home . I feel very unheard and basically like no one cares about my serious issues with my neck and myelopathy .
