Does anyone know anyone who has had a cervical fusion on 3 levels and is back swimming and competing?

    Mindy, I had C-3, C-4 and C-5 fused back in 2001...and have been swimming since then...all four strokes with minimal problems. Luckily I breathe to my right side, since turning to the left is harder than to the right. Just be very careful in your rehab and return to any form of exercise...listen to the Dr's advice and follow it..
