<t>Please please let me know what you guys do regarding your fusion. I am becoming more and more tempted to proceed with it. I'm just scared and dreading waking up in really bad pain again. I'm so tired of hurting as is though that sometimes I wonder why not go for it. I hate to sound flippant about...

<t>Hi Rock. I cannot use my left shoulder after a cervical fusion in August 08. I'm grateful that I still have my hand. Are you new? This website is so wonderful you won't believe.

My arm hangs 3 inches down from subluxation and is terribly painful. What other options? Also, when you ...

Dr. Nath is doing a clinic in Dallas on Saturday morning. I was accepted as a candidate for whatever he does. I am the only adult...the rest are children. Has anyone ever been to one of these in their area? Just wondering what to expect. Thanks. Suzanne Sommer
