I am so surprised how many have had this surgery. I had the fusion of C 4,5,6... plate, screws and bone graft from my hip in 2006, just a month after I bought my new Elna. Bummer. The others are absolutely right about too much time on the computer and also good posture. My neck definitely lets me know when I need to do something else.
Best wishes to you. So glad you're feeling better.
