Re: Cervical Spine Surgery Tomorrow

Hi @SXMGirl, sending good thoughts for your procedure tomorrow.  If you would like to share, what exactly are you having done? 

 

I am also having cervical spine surgery, next Thursday.  C5-C6 ACDF specifically.  I am not excited about it either, but my spinal cord is being impinged so it's got to be done.  

 

Please let us know how you do as soon as you are feeling well enough.

You'll be fine! I had my entire neck re-done so it's all fake bones and steel screws. I tell people I have a fake neck...lol! But seriously, I wish the best for your surgery and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Good thoughts and speedy recovery to both of you.  Had major back surgery 11 years ago and the recovery was easier than I thought it would be.  Good luck.

All the best to you. I hope you have a smooth recovery and an elimination of pain.

 

As others have said, take time to heal. Be grateful for the time to just go with the flow.

I will be thinking of you @SXMGirl  and hoping all goes well with your surgery tomorrow.  I'm glad you have confidence in your surgeon.  That is so important.  I hope you have a full recovery.

 

I have pain in my neck, too, and am waiting on a call to schedule an MRI.
