C4-5, 5-6 fusion - I put in a little extra bone

[Loucleve]

Those were the first words my surgeon uttered upon my waking. I have been paying the price ever since.

For year the doctors looked at me like I was crazy too - seems to be a recurring theme here. I wont bother you with details on symptoms other than to say it is quite obvious to me that indeed he did put in extra bone.

I have learned about a procedure called an osteotomy, in which they apparently will re-do a prior fusion. Risky, but have nothing to lose.

Has anyone any experience in re-doing a cervical fusion? If not, I am coming to the end of my rope.
