Hi all,

Ive had chronic neck / shoulder issues for 6-7 years now, and my consultant is recommending fusing the c5/c6 discs, due to narrowing of the nerve channells.

Ive always said surgery would be an absolute last option, as im worried about potential knock on impacts, and/or issues later in life.

Has anyone had a similar surgery carried out that can offer some feedback on recovery, or any longer term issues/complications?

Thanks all.

D
