Thanks to a drunk driver I have had 2 spinal fusion surgeries in my neck. c-5/6 and 6/7. The docs replaced the disc with bone out of my hip. To tell the honest truth, the bone being removed hurt a lot worse that than the neck surgery.
The docs tell me that the lower you go on the back, the worse any surgery is.

I still ride horses, bale hay and do farm work but i am about 80% of what i used to be.

just get good advice from more than 1 surgeon.
