I am having a surgery next week on my neck - the procedure is called ACDF to insert titanium packers in between C3,4 & 5.

I am currently partial paralysed with numbness in my legs, feet and hands and impotent

Has anyone had this procedure and did it work

a member having a procedure that produces positive results is no guarantee that your procedure will be successful. Procedures so high up on your spine are unlikely to have an effect on your penis and lower limbs. I had a procedure at C6/7 to get rid of arm and hand issues.
