Cervical Stenosis 3 Level ACDF

Hi Folks,

I am a 41 year old male. Last week I was informed that I have extensive damage to C4 through to C7 and injections etc or of no use at this stage. I have been informed by my consultant I will need at least a 3 level decompression, discectomy and fusion. Is this level 3 a normal procedure in terms of fusions etc?

Secondly my consultant claims that there is also damage above C4 & below C7 with further MRI's required later this week commencing on my lumber area to see if there is further damage to the spine etc?

What can I expect of this is the case???
