Patients of C-spine Anyone here that has had more than one level fused and is now facing other levels with issues, please chime in. You can see my history below. What do I do now that the c6/7/t1 is going? Help! I live in Oklahoma City and would be willing to travel to any doctor that can keep me out of major surgery. Perhaps Dallas? I want to know some options. Thanks all, Cher
