yes, he said no options, several ares urgent, he explained it in detail in easy to understand terms,,,always knew this time was coming, my uncle who passed was at one time among the top 2 best spinal surgeons in the US, has written several books on the subject, wish here were alive now
he told me in 1986 I would be undergoing this ordeal someday, just never knew how bad it would really be...but the Dr said if the other cervical issues not done, will have way more problems if not done at same time for best outcome if that is any kind of thing to look forward to,,,almost feel might just go paralyzed and let nature take it's coarse as if I do make it through it, not much of quality of life from the sounds of things to look forward to anyway, just don't know what is right and if it is even worth it right now, so sad
but like I said, have been told in past since 2002 needed surgery badly then, now it is imminent
