I also had this done in July 2020. The still ongoing recovery is not as hard or painful as I thought. I was in the hospital for four days. I wore the hard collar for about 4 weeks. Six weeks later I’m relatively pain free. The issues with my arm and hands, which were the symptoms which lead to the diagnosis and surgery are gradually healing. I recommend this for anyone that may hav3 similar issues.

Same deal with me. Was able to work, but couldn't sleep. 2 weeks after c6/c7 fusion am feeling better...want off the collar though!
I'm 6 months post ACDF surgery c6/c7. Still getting pain down my trap and strength not recovered. Has this been an issue for you.?
What’s this surgery called?
