Hi. I see you asking for more information so I'll oblige...

Nearly five months post C4-7 ACDF - I'm quite happy I had the procedure done. Great surgeon, top-notch facilities, and - after 4-6 weeks of discomfort - a reasonable resolution and return to life normalcy. I'm an active 71 year old and fully expect to return to full activity w/significant pain relief.

Wishing you the best. I still have some tingles in my fingers but neck range of motion is MUCH better and neck pain is gone.

Did you have hand and finger numbness before your ACDF surgery? If so, how long did it take to start going away? Thank you and God Bless!
