New to the site and had some questions as does everyone so it seems.
I had my C5 and 6 done on the 28th of December. Prior to surgery I had noooo pain. On the 14th of December my legs stopped working, I could not get around and about 4 days later my hands went. I was admitted to the hospital on Christmas Eve and misdiagnosed with several different problems from MS to Cancer.
Finally my husband took me to a different hospital and I was looked at by my Neurosurgeon. I had the surgery the next day.
I now can walk and my hands are working but I am in terrible pain all the time. My shoulder on the right side and both my lower arms and hands feel as if there are pins being stuck in them all the time.
I am taking Gabupenten, Extra Strength Tylenol and once in a while 5mg of Oxy if I just cant stand it any more.
How long will this pain last? Im getting very irritated (just ask my poor husband) and just hope this pain is going to go away. Any advice would be great
