Hey! So I'm a 57 year old gym rat. Already had multiple surgeries in my shoulders to address level 4 arthritis. Basically bone on bone. Knees are also following this trend. On this moment, I am having issues with chronic neck pain that radiates down into my right arm and into my hand. Neurosurgeon states that I need a C5-6 anterior discectomy and fusion with human bone and plate and screws. Sounds overwhelming.
I just had a joint replacement in my right shoulder in 2021. The surgery will be through the neck in the area near my throat . No therapy needed but 6-9 weeks for the bone to heal. Any thoughts or experiences to share?
