What would be some reasons a surgeon would operate on the neck from the

back??? The last neurosurgeon I saw said he was going to go through

the back when he told me I need to be fused from C 2-7 with titanium.

The reason I am going to pool therapy is to try to hold off having to

have this surgery. This is another doctor that has me going to this.

He wants me to do the therapy, get off of my pain meds completely, and

then see him again when this is done. Then he wants to see what I'm

left with as far as pain and symptoms. This is the Orthopedic surgeon

I sent and saw a couple of months ago. I don't know that I will let

him do surgery, I will getting an opinion from another neurosurgeon

sometime down the road.

Maybe the that neurosurgeon was going to remove the facets like they

did on my back??? The ones that are giving me so much trouble by the

base of my skull? I don't know that I would a doctor doing that....

but I don't know, I'm not educated and know nothing of this stuff....

So why would they go from the back of the neck??? Thanks .
