I had fussion surgery but was it worth it?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! A little over 4 years ago i was in a car accident with

injuries to both my neck and lower back. About 2 months ago I had an

Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion on two levels. I was in so

much pain the first two wks. Now, My neck is less mobile than it was

than before. It feels so weird, it is so hard to describe. I know

this may sound weird but it feels as though I can feel the metal in my

neck. My neck is in more pain now than it was before and it is a

different type of pain. The Dr. said it could take up to 2 years to

see full recovery bc of the meds that I am on and the process of

tapering them off. I have tried lowering my meds but the pain just

comes back. Has anyone ever had this surgery before and had any

problems. I am scared that I shouldn't of had the surgery. Thanks in

advance!
