Spine Surgery
My husband is scheduled to have cervical surgery next month for bone spurs and herniated disks. he is at collapsing stage 4 and we have tried many alternatives to no avail. I understand it's a very risky surgery and reading posts from others have really frightened me. He loves golf and is very active and I just can't imagine his "golden" years filled with agony and solitude. Not asking for h,elp just please say prayers for Daniel. Thank you.

Prayers for Daniel's successful surgery and rapid recovery. He is going to feel better than he does now.
You might ask the surgeon for a prescription for Forteo. It helps integrated the hardware and speeds recovery. And may help with the pain.
Prayers for you Daniel and trust in the Lord with all your heart , with all your mind and with all your soul. I don't know what kind of cervical surgery you are having but I just wanted to let you know that I had a 4 level cervical fusion in 2009 that was very successful. I was 59 years old at the time of the fusion.
@danyysienna111 Of course there are risks to any surgery, but cervical fusion can be done with great outcomes. I am an example of that. I had a one level fusion of C5/C6 with only a bone disc spacer and I stayed in a neck brace for 3 months until fused. It solved all the pain I was having.
What has the surgeon proposed doing for your husband?
