I'm a lumbie, not a cervie, but am in the same boat also. I had an L2-3 fusion in February, a redo L2-3 fusion in May and am scheduled for another fusion/decomression/laminectomy on December 8th. If pills, PT, injections, etc don't work for you then, as sad as it is, really your only two options are to learn to live with the pain or to have surgery. If you are a cervie like Melissa, there is a procedure called a CED done solely on cervies. I don't know much about it, other than very few places do it but it is much simpler than surgery. How was your first surgery experience? Not good at all? I'm only 20, surgeries were at 19, and mine were both a piece of cake. So I feel that another one is no big deal....and it's a last resort other than learning to accep my condition which I cannot, will not, do!! Feel free to e-mail me anytime at Love2Flip@aol.com Take care, good luck and always keep smiling! :o) <3~Sara Follow Ups Post a Followup If you post a followup: Please review our message board guidelines.
