I have had 2 neck fusions from Dr. Rutz but still have the pain. When I went back to see him, he slapped my x-ray up and said you are fixed, I have a perfect record, and don't come back. I now take pain meds daily. I won't go back. I would like to know more specifics about what exactly he did to my neck and why he could not help me. Other dr.s don't seem to be able to help me either. It is pretty frustrating
