How To Ease Pain Due To C3-t1 Fusion?
Hi, I m facing a likely c3-t1 fusion, I had no symptoms 6 months and have rapidly progressing symptoms that leave in pain daily ( 8-9 on pain scale 1-10) without maximum doses of nsaids continuously. I am unable to tolerate narcotics. Is it likely that my symptoms will worsen based on the sudden, recent, progressive onset of symptoms?

cannot say in your particular case, but generally, yes. Ok, there are a few other issues here. First, if there are signs of nerve damage with loss of strength in the hands or shoulders or loss of sensation, then it has to be done or worsening paralysis will happen. Then, most of the time flares go up and down in about 2 weeks and go back to previous.
