anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion

anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion

I have neck pain. I am living in Canada
I did MRI , the doctor said there is severe multilevel degeneative disc disease with spinal cord compression. He sugguested me to do the surgery called anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion. After I read yr forums paitients comment.  I am so scare as there has a lot of bad feedback. May I know if there has another way to take care of it instead of surgery. Right now I have stiff neck pain.  Sore arms  and that is it.

you don't hear from the people who have had success in most of these forums..the rate of success is extremely high..I know 5 guys in their 50s..all doing well..I got my life back- routine recovery.  If you wait nerve damage can lead to permanent muscle loss-
don't let fear guide your life..good luck

yes. I found the sucess case only right after the surgery... how about after 8 years or later,  I am so afraid it needs another surgery one after one
