Default re cervical situation

Sonata,
Welcome and sorry you're one of the walking injured now however this website is a good find for you in terms of information.

What I'd suggest is getting more opinions and the AlphaKlinik sounds like a good place to start as well as a few other docs that may be able to offer alternative to fusion if that is possible.

I'm a long term lumbar spinal veteran and have had a few episodes of cervical probs with one that was really painful starting nearly 4 weeks ago I believe. Eventually I may have to do something tho hopefully not for a while. If the day comes my neck needs surgery and I can avoid a fusion, I'll do what's necessary because if I thought the lumbar stuff was bad/limiting... wow, the cervical pain and limitations are really bad..

Others with more info in this area will reply (cervical spine patients w/intervention and those w/more knowledge). Just wanted to say hi and hope your pain is under control at least while you check out your options.

take care, Maria
