I certainly understand your pain. I am 62 and also had two surgeries C4-5 C6-7 the only relief I have found is a kind of self healing. I got some tapes on thai chi and I do that daily, when I don't do it, I feel it. I also have a TENS unit prescribed by a pain specialist and a mild pain cocktail. I would pull out all stops before further surgery unless they can show you there is no other way. good luck and be strong in yourself. Claire
