Unreal! I'm too young for this crap!

I've been reading about it, It's called "Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion" that's a mouth full. this thing is what he wants to do



it's also effecting the left arm and makeing mt thumb and index finger numb. the doctor said that I can lose mobility and feeling in my left arm if i don't get it fixed, and I have lost strength in my left arm already since it's been 3 month now. The first doc put me in physical therapy and that made it worse so he recommended me to this guy I'm seeing now.

anybody had or has this?
this is what it is exactly

Thanks everybody!

Yes, that is exactly what my brother had. He also had a lumbar disc replacement.

I've had a laminectomy and microdiscectomy, and have been very pleased with the results.

Arm?
Fingers?
That means your herniations are in the cervical area.
That is usually more problematic than the Lumbar, which affects the legs/toes.
Did he tell you how he plans to do that?
They often times do that procedure via the throat as easier to access than via the back of the neck.
