Cervical Disc Removal

Cervical disc removal (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion or ACDF), is a type of neck surgery that involves removing a damaged disc to relieve spinal cord or nerve root pressure and alleviate corresponding pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling.

I had 2 levels done day before yesterday.They replaced my c4-5 and c5-6 with titanium discs that have bone powder coating.My doctor did not have me in a neck brace.I had surgery 9am,spent that day and night in hospital and released next day at 11am.I was in bad pain when I woke up and was given dimerol.The pain was from all the nerves that were pinched for 15 years was suddenly released.On day 3 now the nerve pain has improved a lot.I am not on any pain meds at all though I could have used some yesterday.The pain is manageable today and the nerves are settling it seems.Im getting by with Tylenol and moving my head around some.All the tingling I had in my shoulder,arm,finger,and thumb is gone.I think I'm going to heal up just fine.

What happens if there is spinal cord damage? Is there anything that can be done to help?

[@ms.whitex1113]

Basically the body will be paralysed and he or she should be placed in a wheel chair if the damage is not serious then surgery should be done
