DISH (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis) or Forestier's

I have a neurosurgeon there who removed 3 large osteophytes while fusing 2 discs in my cervical spine. These had pretty much taken my voice and ability to swallow. I have many more throughout my spine, but he won't remove them unless they are really causing problems as they grow back most of the time.

I am glad you were able to get the help to remove the osteophytes and disc fusion. Again, my heart goes out to everyone who writes on this site for the pain and suffering that we all go through. Thankfully there are practitioners out there who do you believe there are issues and try to help us resolve to the best of their ability. Hugs to you all!
