Is it correct to have the disc fusion between C6 and C7 causing severe pain?
Patient: Hi. I had my c5 and c6 fused last year. I now have severe pain down my neck shoulder and down my arm and into my fingers. I had am MRI and it showed that I now have a problem between c6 and c7. Do u think it s a good idea to have all these discs fused. Doctor: HelloIt is fairly common to develop a disc problem above or below where a fusion has been done.As for whether you need a second fusion, that would depend on the actual MRI report and results of nerve conduction studies and a cervical myelogram
