Seizures and spinal fusions?

Seizures and spinal fusions?

Hello. Newbie here! I had C4 ~ C6 fusion in 2007 (No accident - just had a disk rupture for some reason) This "Thankfully" resolved that horrid pain, but since I have had increased horrible headaches, shoulder ache that never goes away, left arm numbness, left hand weakness and many other numerous "neck" ailments. In the meantime, I have been struggling with seizures(Partial & TonicClonic) or they have increased dramatically in the last 2 years (Have had tc's since infant - currently 41yrs old). I was scheduled for an MRI and will follow up with results this Tues. The nurse indicated today that the Neurosurgeon will want to talk with my husband and I regarding my siezures and the results of the MRI. (There was nothing showing hurniated disks or anything like that she said.) My question is: Has anyone else ever had any association between neck fusion and seizures?

Haven't had neck fusion but I have had surgery for seizures.  I'd be happy to discuss it with you if you have questions about it.  Feel free to message me if you want.
