I know a lot about lumbar problems and have heard about cervical fusions, but not too much at all about your issues. It sounds like you have a lot of spine concerns with not many happy ways out of your situation. I knew generally that thoracic surgery was more difficult, but had only general information as to why. I didn't know until I did my own research on lumbar fusions that the spinal cord ends before it reaches the lumbar spine. I can see why you and your doctor would be hesitant to operate.
