Hello, again. Yes, to a degree it helped. I don't have a lot of mobility anymore, but I can hold my head up and not feel like it will crumble at any moment. The hardest part is getting used to a lack of mobility. I have rods, cadaver bone, screws, and other parts in my neck. It was a total rebuild. My best to you as you go through this process.

I have spinal fusion in my cervical (neck) spine. I had a total rebuild of my neck in 2011. I have enough hardware to start my shop. I call myself a living toolbox. I will be having surgery on my lower spine a bit later this year. I will have fusion as well as several other things done.
