I too have had 2 operations on C56,C67. I have been in extreme pain with many side reactions after my second operation. I have wires and pins in my neck holding it together. I have recently had another MRI and I have problems now at C4 as well as the other levels. The neurosurgeon has chosen not to operate on me because the surgery would be too long and too complicated and he can't offer any guarantees that it would help. My suggestion is to ask just that...can you guarantee less pain. My first operation was in the front and I seemed to be able to live my life...the second was in the back of my neck and it destroyed the life I had...have to continualy remake and justify my life. I live on medications but with the love of my family and God it makes it all worth while. Bless you and I pray for answers and relief for you.
