Brief Answer:
means your cervical fusion was done for post disc

Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Post disc degenerative disease in your records means your cervical fusion was done for post disc degenerative disease. It is in relation to your cervical surgery. You had degenerative ( age related) changes in cervical spine and cevical disc for which cervical fusion has been done. Your history records spurs and arthritis are all about osteoarthritic (degenerative arthritis).

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
