Hello pete1221 I was just told after surgery 2 years ago my c2 and 3 are now bone to bone right under that level is where I had fusion. For me it was a virtually easy surgery I mean I was still off work for about 3 weeks, I just wasn’t in much pain. I guess 2 and 3 were not an issue for me 2 years ago, but now the pain is no fun. But I also have psoriatic arthritis. It too affects the neck, so I’m kind of a mess. My doc said to redo the fusion would be major. So to help you my neck surgery went well, home next day . Just had to take it easy. Good luck to you, by the way I was 58 when I had it done. I’m sure you are younger. Take good care
