I have had C4-5, and C56 fusions...........would I do it again.........well the second one was a long recovery....I really didnt think it worked at all.............but for some reason.......3 yrs later I did start to feel better. I have some limitations.........my range of motion is a bit limited but so used to it it doesnt bother me. The donor bone graft sounds very appealing .......I used my own from the iliac crest....hip...and that was ten times more painful then my neck............but they tell me the risk for rejection from a donor exsists...so Im not sure Id want to take that risk despite the pain! Good luck to you.........Ive been there and I will attest............there is NOTHING more painful than pain in the neck!!!! Keep in mind tho.........Ive never totally rid of all the pain...some good days some bad............but not near what it was!!!
