cervical and lumbar fusion.

Hi all, I had 2 level cervical fusion 11/09 and have 3 level lumbar fusion next week. has anyone here had both neck and lumbar fusion. are you able to work. I just feel like im looking at disability, but hoping not. cervical is not as good as possible due to back pain keeping me from being active and in shape. any input is appreciated. thanks,

I've had both although, I'm still having trouble with my neck, but I am able to work. A 3 level fusion a pretty big deal, it's going to lay you up for awhile.

Hope it goes well and let us know how you are.
