Hi I had a c-4 disectomy/fusion in Sept of 2003 and have been experiencing pain since. the pain is now back to the point it is affecting my life and my families. I work in law enforcement and have worked full time until 2 weeks ago. the original doctor that did the surgery claims everything is fine, i went for a second opinion and the new doctor says I need the c-5 done as it is pinching a nerve and there is nothing else he can do so when I am ready come back to see him, well being a work injury my work has now sent me to there doctor who feels I do not need surgery and that medication and physical theraphy can take care of it. I am not sure what to do next. 1st if I do have the new surgery done I have a 30% chance of it happening again, I feel I am unable to work as an officer ? I am thinking of another opinion and try to make a decision from there. I am open to any sugjestions anyone has
