[QUOTE="LifeUPSer, post: 322372, member: 13530"] In regards to the surgery don't let them fuse you. I have 2 discs in my neck that are fused and it created another problem where I have a slipped disc just below that. I have been researching alternatives to another disc fusion and there is an artifical disc that they can put in your back and the lower part of the back that will replace the current one. It is designed to sit in there perfectly and there is about a 97% success rate. I am waiting to have my next surgery when that is developed for the neck. As for what to expect if you are able to come back to work? The threads before me said it all. The other thing that I have seen with young people is that they might offer to retrain you in another field. the downfall to that is there is only a certain amount of time to complete and there is no promise that you will have a job when you are done with the training. Once you agree to the retraining you are signing your job away and there is no way to come back so make sure that if they offer you this that it is something that you want. Good luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
