Hello, may I ask how old you were when you had this done? Did you also have fusion?
Via an MRI, I've been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my cervical area. I'm a 72 male, and have had cervical pain since I was 34 year of age. I'm tired of the high level of pain, and need to do something.

You get spine fused like the rest of us 😊

[@imveryhungry112]

I’m 73 and 6 weeks post C5-6 fusion. I had lots of pain in my left arm and to reach for something was very painful. When I was 58 I had the same pain but was C4-C5. The pain went away. Just like a car , replacing old parts.
