That is great to hear as that surgery will be in my future. Can I ask what part of the country you live in ?
Did you have one or two surguries?

@collierga Hello, we had communicated a lot on Connect. It's good to see you back on here again. Are you moving closer to surgery or have you had a surgical consult? I have had a few intermittent symptoms and plan to follow up with my neurosurgeon. I can hear a disc cracking in my neck and it may be the level below my fusion and I've had some tingling in extremities and my physical therapist was able to lessen that, but she said my neck and back were tight and causing some spine compression. She did some manual work and it got better, but that is how things started as intermittent symptoms that depended on the position of my spine and maintaining normal curvature.
