Had ACDF C5-C7 several yrs ago.
3 weeks ago was running to catch up with a patient, stumbled and flew into a heavy metal door handle with my glasses on.
Stumbled sideways and slammed my back into the wall. Ended up with a broken nose, 2 black eyes, bruised chin, etc.
Have been having pain and tension in my neck along with headaches since. Wondering if I should ask the Dr. to do xrays to make sure my plate is still intact. This happened on the job and don't want to put it off if there's a chance there might be a problem? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
