occipital headaches

I was told by my neuro that my neck xrays showed slippage in my C6 and C7 vertebrae. He suggested I might want fusion. That terrified me hideously–I pictured myself not able to turn my head. to I am now going to look into it. I have an appointment toward the end of August. I have heard from people that they had fusion and their daily and nightly pain, like I have, has gone away.

So–here I go.:eek:
