Anyone had triple disc neck fusion?

Welcome @roxannrolls. I moved your question to the Spine Health support group here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/spine-health/ so you can connect with others who have had spine fusions like @yesibeleive @mrmacabre @jenniferhunter and others.

Will you be caring for your son as he recovers?

June 26' I had anterior & posterior neck surgery. Had to wear a neck brace for a little while for support. It was great. Healing was great. I'm 71 yrs old.
I don't know how old your son is but, I think it will be just fine. Not much pain either.

Yes, I have had a 3 level cervical fusion many years ago. Probably about 20. It was well worth it and not a hard surgery to recover from. Minimal pain. The only thing your doctor might suggest is to sleep in a lazy boy recliner of some type to minimize swelling for about 2 weeks. I found this difficult because Im not one to sleep in that position, but I got through it. I was working at the time and I think I went back to work within 3 weeks. Best wishes.

I am 73 YO, had triple cervical fusion C4-7 last year. Anterior then posterior when there was hardware failure. Posterior caused a lot of pain in shoulders from the muscles being cut. But I healed well, followed Dr. directions. I wore a collar for 3 months, no PT until the collar was off. Slow and gentle recovery, no bending!! That still applies, BTW.
Your son is much younger I imagine so that’s to his benefit. Everyone heals differently. My Dr. says it can take 1-2 years to fully fuse.
