Hello Angiecrb and thank you for posting today.

I am sorry to hear about your recent health challenges. You may want to seek a second opinion from another surgeon who does Cervical Spinal Fusions . He or she can take a look at your situation, review records and scans, and make recommendations.

You don't mention whether or not you're seeing an endocrinologist for the adrenal issues, and a neurologist about the double vision, but perhaps that's something to consider, too.

Unfortunately, we don't have any health experts on this community. You may want to consider reposting on the Back Pain community where we have some Health Experts and supportive members who may have had a surgery like your own.

Give us an update if you have a chance,

Byroney
