I have a herniation at C6&7 due to an assault. I also have several displaced disks from mid/upper back up through entire neck due to this. It looks as if I am going to require disk replacement/fusion at C6&7, but I have heard that the chances of improvement are low and that pain can even increase after surgery. I am also concerned about the possibility of disks above at C5&6 and C4&5, which are also displaced, being stressed by the fusion at C6&7. Would appreciate hearing opinions on the advisability of having this surgery.
