There's no question that my current issues, which were already lurking in the shadows when I had the fusion last May (they were noted in the MRI from 2/22), are partly a function of the new stresses introduced after that procedure. I was very careful about rehab/PT, but that wasn't enough, apparently.
I am, alas, pretty decrepit from T-1 up. Even my surgeon said while reviewing the last MRI that "your neck is a mess". There's narrowing of the foramin on both sides above the fusion - C-4/5 & C-3/4. I would not be shocked if those create some issues eventually. We're just knockin' em off one at a time....
