Hi, and welcome to the forum,

I also recently joined to get more information about pain and persisting problems that my husband was having after ACDF surgery. Unfortunately you will find many such stories in this forum, and most have the explanation that nerves have been disturbed during the surgery and that the neck must now learn to accomodate its new structure and work in different ways--especially with a 3 level procedure!.

But if your sister can't even get out of bed I would suggest enlisting the help of whomever necessary and getting her back to the surgeon's office asap. Alternately, if the surgeon puts you off then go to the emergency room where they have diagnostic equipment to find out what is going on.

I'm glad you found this forum. You have a right to be quite alarmed.

Don't stop until you have answers that satisfy you.

Caroline
