Hello folks just wondering if any one has had a spinal operation on their neck at all. I am due one mid 2013 to try and stop the pain from stenosis, I have researched a lot from the web but I would like to hear from some one who has had the op! Things like the % outcome, recovery times and has it helped.
Thanks folks Steve

I have, but for spinal compression so presumably it is not the same as you will be having. I still have some symptoms but I was never given to understand that they would all cease post op. The op really stopped further deterioration but as the spinal cord does not heal I am left with symptoms of imbalance at times and some days walking is much more of an effort than other days. I notice symptoms improved over 18 months post op which is exactly what the surgeon hoped would happen. As I said I was never given any guarantees except to stop further deterioration in that area.
