I have severe bilateral cervical facet disease at multiple levels from a remote whiplash injury. I have had two endoscopic surgeries to correct severe spinal stenosis caused by a herniation. Unfortunately, I did not undergo a fusion at that time. The herniation was fixed. I had dramatic improvement but over about six years my pain worsened. It is presumed to be secondary to my facet disease. I have undergone several rhizotomies (a more permanent medial branch block) to address this problem. There has been some relief; but, the relief has been too short term.
Has any one undergone a fusion for their facet disease? Currently my neurosurgeon does not want to pursue a fusion because I no longer have enough other disease to warrant this (ie no high grade herniation or spinal stenosis). I am looking to correspond with anyone who has benefitted from a fusion for their Facet Disease.

Thanks.
