Recovery from Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion

11 days ago I had Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion (ACDF) on C6/7.

After the eleventh day, I am still in extreme pain and needing at least 1 1/2 - 2 of 5 mg oxycodone every 4 hours.

I am wondering what the recovery has looked for anyone else who has had the same procedure, whether it was on the same vertebrae or a different cervical vertebrae. I am wondering if cervical fusion surgery recovery is longer for those of us with EDS considering discs are made up mostly of two types of collagen?
