I developed cervical spondylosis and radiculopathy with stenosis a year ago. I am having ACDF sugery in August.. luckily private small hospital.. ( NHS paid( the pain is horrifically brutal) . I was supposed to have a total hip replacement this May with epidural but both my surgeons had a meeting and decided my spinal surgery must come first. I also had to postpone my bladder and bowel repair.. l swear I'm falling to bits.. guess at my age ( 68) these things happen. Also my endometriosis/ adhesions have got worse and spread to other organs.. ( total hysterectomy didnt alter much). Just having a rant.. but if you have had ACDF surgery can you tell me your experiences.. how is your throat cut scar? Did you get the use of your arm and hand back? Ty.
