Hi! I had the ACDF C6-7 (level 1) surgery in October 2024. I thank God literally every day that I did it. I woke up from the surgery, able to move all fingers and toes, and virtually was pain free in the left arm and hand where I was affected the most. Now, the rest of my body hurt, LOL, but that was short-lived compared to the excruciating pain I had been living with prior to the surgery.
Because I had a hard time finding info about this surgery beforehand, I did do a video of my experience, what to expect, and how to prepare for before and after surgery - at least from my perspective. There were things I just didn't know or think about since it's not stuff the doctor talked about, so hopefully it will help someone else ahead of time.
I had to put it on my YouTube @KDsKorner33 because it's kind of long, but hopefully informative (I can't add a link here).
