Fuse your vertebrae in your neck?

hi, stephyyyy. Artificial discs https://www.youtube.com/watch might be a possibility for you.

@stephyyyy There are artificial disks for the cervical spine. Not everyone is a candidate for these. Conditions that disqualify them would be instability of the spine, too many consecutive levels with bad discs, poor bone quality, etc. There can be complications with artificial disks, and some patients grow bone over them trying to stabilize them.

I have a single level fusion of C5/C6 which I chose over an artificial disk and my movement is just about the same as it was before surgery except for not being able to touch my chin to my chest.

Here are some discussions in the Spine Health Group about artificial disks where you can learn more.

Artificial disc replacement surgery recommended vs fusion

I've had 2 separate fusion procedures done on my neck, at the C5-C6 level, and several months later at the C7-T1 level. Both surgeries involved using a piece of donor bone, along with a plate and screws to stabilize my neck, and to try and reduce the random stabbing pains that I'd been dealing with for months before the first surgery. After the second procedure those were reduced by 90%.
I can't turn my head side to side or look up or down like I used to, but it's not a big deal IMO. In both cases, the vertebrae has fused together without any issues.
If your neurosurgeon has recommended surgery I'd go along with it.
