Did anyone have cervical vertebra surgery with plating? I have problem with C3, C4 and C5. Was told that I need to have surgery back in Feb/March. I need more information to prepare to have surgery. Your feedback of experiences will be very appreciated. Thanks!
 
I have no first-hand knowledge of this. However, a friend of ours had a problem with his neck, and had a fusion done to relieve his pain. It's been a few years since his surgery, and he's done quite well. He has no pain, and he has resumed all his normal activities.

I hope this helps.

Well, My neurosuregon want to try other alternative thing.. so Hes reffering me to a doctor who will be doing some Injections with coristones into my neck.. (maximum of 3 times).. If no improvements or etc, then I go back to see him, He will order myleogram dye cat scan test to "determine" more specifics in my spinal cords.. so welll, I will know more when this happen after the shots, does it get improve ? does it go away for LONG time ? etc... I just hate hate this damn thing that is so Annyoying to me even when Im not having pain, it's just a HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY tingling feeling ALLOVER from Tip of my fingers to elbows that also "affects" me to Itches my fingers/Arm argh!


but then again, good luck with your surgery, I hope you will have Less pain, and less problems too :)

Hello .... I'm doing fine but in pain and taking easy. The doctors did bone marrow from my hip bone and insert my neck bones after fusing then instert two metel plates and 8 screws in. My neck is very swollen and buises from whole front of my neck down to my collar blades. The swollen went downer then yesterday. I'm able to eat very little. I feel better day by day so that is good news. Today finally altogether I was able to sleep most of the times and notice that the pain is lessen. It seems good healing processing.

Thank you for your concerns!
