I have been totally fused since I was 40. Well, almost totally. I could move my head then about 12 degrees to the left and 15 degrees to the right. My up and down head movement was roughly 8 to 10 degrees in either direction.
My spine is still totally fused at the age of 68 but through much continuous head exercises, I have increased my lateral head movement about 3 or 4 degrees in left and right and 1 or 2 degrees in the up and down direction.
The only real change in the last 28 years is that I had a couple of surgeries that increased my height from 5' 2" back up to 5' 9" tall. Not bad since I did start at roughly 6' 1" when I was 30 years old.
The fusing isn't the worst part, the bending IS.
