@4846 I did have spinal fusion surgery at Mayo 6 years ago and I had a great recovery. I had a single level fusion at C5/C6 done with only a bone graft and no hardware. I am a lot better off now than I was before spine surgery and my motion and head turning is normal because 5/6 doesn't do much of that. There is one slight difference in that I can no longer touch my chin to my chest, but it is close. When I came to Mayo, it was the 6th surgical consult.

Are you still looking for a surgeon for help?
