                        I too had a cervical fusion of C 5 & 6.  My problem after the surgery was bone spurs in the neck. I've had one removed  (years ago) but after xrays I found I   have 2 more...so far not enough pain for their removal..but you might try looking into it. I know the pain you must feel. Hope this helps.
