Is Surgery Correct Option For Bulging Disk In Neck, Spinal Cord Cutting Off Some Fluids?
I have a bulging disk in my neck. It is bulging into my spinal cord and cutting off some of the fluid. The dr wants to do surgery. I am concerned and not sure I want to go through the surgery. What are the risks if I don t have the surgery? If I do have the surgery?

there are some serous problems from this problem such as paralysis,dead but it's very very rare.(less than 1 the most common complication that may occur with you is
1.dysphagia (30-40 %); and it wil get better soon after your sugery
2.Hoarseness(10%) ;usually form transient recuurent laryngeal nerve injury
I think your doctor will do ACDF operation for you , don't worry mostly it's very safe and minimal invasive procedure , you can go hone 1-3 day after operation
