Had L4-5 lamininectomy/fusion also osteomeylitis. Recovered.Now have C3-4,C4-5,C5-6, radiculopathy secondary to HNP. C6-7 disc protrusion, Thoracic myelopathy secondary to cord atrophy at T8-9. T6-7,T8-9,T11-12 radiculopathy secondary to HNP. T9-10 and T7-8 bulging disc. Sleep seizures are no longer present though I still take meds for it. L3 disc is lying on top of hardware. Doc says I must get the cervical disc fixed now before it is too late and I then will have no choice. Scared. What do you think? It isn't surgery that I worry about, its the aftermath of possibly having osteomeylitis again; I don't need my blood septic or need to be on iv of vancomycin again. I exist, not because of my neck but because of my legs. Loose urine. Doc can't figure which disc is the cause. Sorry to burden you with so much on this forum. Thanks.
