I had cervical spine fusion surgery in 2019. I had C4/C5, C5/C6 discotomy as well as cervical fusions. For me it was the best decision. My neurosurgeon said I was lucky if I got 70% success rate as I had the problem for so many years. I hit about 80%. I am not in constant, excruciating pain anymore. I still have pain but it’s not as severe as it was. I am much better compared to what I was.
