Also, if you have had the procedure.... any tips? Tia.
My dad had C4/C5 fusion done about 10 years ago. He's in SE Alabama, so not much help in recommending anyone in Louisiana. He's a Neurologist, so he knew who to go to in his city. But his recovery time wasn't that bad. He had to wear a brace for about a month. I think he said they used hip bone from a cadaver for the disketomy, but the procedure took a few hours. He was back home that evening, and I don't think there was much as far as PT goes. Just healing time, and he has a limited range of movement now. But the pain was gone almost instantly. Just some stiffness from time to time. They went in through the front of his neck.

Apparently disc replacement is newer and preferred these days. Im 34, so I'm hoping for a one-and-done surgery.
