Cripes, disc material appears to have spread out and down the back of the vertebrae impinging upon the spinal cord (from that one bad pic, need to see the rest of the series to be sure). No wonder you were in so much pain. I wonder if they talked to you about what to do with the set of your cervical spine after your surgery because I see disc bulges throughout your c-spine that need attention before they rupture as well.
Can I also just say that serious pain, even if it's just muscle pain, is NOT normal and you should see a doctor asap for it. There are lots of options before fusion surgery if you catch it early enough.
