[QUOTE="03Sssnake, post: 17010627, member: 7121"] Get second and third opinions man and pick the ortho you like the most. Almost 99 percent sure surgery will be needed. I talked to three different docs with regard to my 3 level ACDF discectomy and fusion from C4-C7. I actually went with the first doc that wanted to do the most. The second doc was basically telling me what I wanted to hear. I wasn’t a good candidate for disc replacement due to multiple levels needing repair and the amount of bone/osteophytes that needed removing. He wanted to do a fusion as well, but said if I really wanted a replacement he would do two levels instead… like that’s great doc, but I am not the expert, you are… the third doc also a neurosurgeon is actually a family friend, but he really doesn’t do surgeries anymore, he is a dept head and teaches as well. I just wanted a sanity check with regard to my options. Sorry for rambling, good luck and I hope all goes well! [/QUOTE]
