I am about to undergo cervical fusion of C5-C6 and I'm really nervous about it; can anyone tell me if they have had this; are you able to bend your neck up and down and sideways after you recover from the post-op time? Also, is it really painful afterwards? I'm just scared and guess I need some kind of reassurance. I have the very best neurosurgeon in San Antonio, so I'm grateful about that. THanks!!!

Sheryl, you might try over on the spinal cord board. That's where most of us who have had cervical problems hang out. Seems the back board is for thoracic or lower, and the other board does cervical and other spinal disorders.
