I have spinal decompression and fusion of C2-T2. It was necessary for me. I didn't have a choice. It did improve some pain and numbness. I have residual numbness 17 years later. Everyone's circumstances are different. Several opinions is what I would suggest. Good luck to you.❤️

I had it in May 2020 for spinal cord compression. I had to have it because my leg and arm weakness/pain was getting unbearable. I also didn’t want to risk being a quadriplegic. What are your symptoms, if I may ask?

I had cervical and thoracic surgery but it was 17 years ago. I needed it for extreme spinal cord compression and ruptured discs. So much pain and numbness. It helped the pain. Numbness is still there. I think if it is medically necessary/structurally and nothing else works go for it. Get a couple of surgical opinions. There are many different approaches. Each doctor has there own opinions. Good luck. Hope you find what is right for you! HUGS!
