I had my surgery about four weeks ago today. The surgeons decided to do a multilevel fusion after reviewing the MRIs and CT Scan, C3 - C6. After awakening from my surgery I was told they found they only needed to do a single level fusion : ), C3 - C4. I was in the hospital for two days recovering, then sent home with pain pills. I have been resting and am not to drive or do any form of exercise for another two weeks. I also had two follow up visits since the surgery with x-rays and all is well. There is some tingling in my arms and hands which my surgeon expects to go away on its own. Besides the arm/hand tingling I am no longer in pain. The incision area has minimal scaring at only four weeks post surgery. The incision area is numb, under my chin but has been slowly regaining feeling. So, so far my surgery has been a success and I hope to soon return to all of my activities.
