Nemesis, I just found out that i need to have a anterior cervical discectomy and fusion c3-c7. I have had 2 ACL reconstructions, 4 other knee surgeries and recently my rotator cuff repaired. I am looking for a comparison to these surgeries to see what rehab and pain levels would be, The shoulder surgery was the most painful of these surgeries by far for me. I need to prepare myself for this cervical surgery. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Once I heal from this I need a posterior spinal fusion and laminectomy. and finally a total knee replacement. My doctor advised me to get the neck done first due to how severe the stenosis is. I think I will have to get a lightning protection suit after all this is done. lol.As I follow this, I have a personal attachment to this situation as I sit here 30 days post-op from a neck surgery to alleviate stenosis in my own neck.
However, my neck stenosis was a little different in that it was forminal stenosis (narrowing of the nerve holes exiting the SIDES of each vertebrae) as opposed to David Wilson's spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal cord column in the BACK of a person's neck). The surgery that I had was a 3 level ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion) of the 4th, 5th, and 6th cervical discs where they went in thru the front of my neck and removed 3 discs and inserted plastic spacers where the discs used to be and immobilized it with titanium bracket/screws. From what I've heard and read, Peyton Manning actually had a 1 level ACDF surgery the year that he sat out, but it was never reported or published as a "fusion".....it was always reported that he had 3 or 4 neck surgeries.
In David Wilson's case, I have to say that Spinal Stenosis is much more dangerous b/c it involves the spinal cord and the risk of possible paralysis. In his case, I think it is his VERTEBRAE......not a slipped or ruptured DISC that could cause impingement on the spinal cord. So I don't know the surgical procedure that they are talking about performing. (does anybody know the actual procedure that has been presented to him?)
Also, I do believe that Spinal Stenosis is what ended Mike Alstott's career.
