spine surgery needed after reclast infusion

Posted by jmmjml @jmmjml, 7 hours ago

I had a reclast infusion two months ago after two years of tymlos. Now I have neck and arm pain and my Mri indicates that I will need a c3-7 cervical fusion. I don't know when it will be safe to undergo that as I believe just having reclast will result in a failed fusion. Anyone have any experience or answers to when it is ok to undergo this after reclast. If you need cox to be a certain number....what is that?
Thank you in advance so much!!!
