5 /5 Cindy cea: I got my surgery done on 11/05/2024 for a Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion at C4-7 , I was really scared alot of people told me not to do it , but I decided I was going to do it , so Im not gonna lie first week was really hard for me not because of the surgery, but it was because you have to manage how to sleep with the collar on, finding a good position on bed to sleep , and yes some pain that you can manage with the medicine they give you after, remember its a surgery so it takes time to heal, on my second week I felt way better , my pain I could said 90% its gone for now I still resting, no more headache no more back pain , and its been only 6 weeks from my surgery, just take it slow on going back to normal life, communication with doctor and his staff was really easy every time I had a question I would just send a text message and they would reply really quick, so far I could said that this surgery did work for me.
