Hi,
I agree with Cath regarding wearing a cervical collar.
I had ACDF c5 c6 and wasn't told to wear one post op but some time later found enormous relief from a bout of intense shoulder and arm pain by wearing one.
I don't recall needing much in the way of post op analgesics though especially by day 6 so maybe you need further reviewing.
Have you had any ct scan or x ray since surgery?
Let us know how you go.
Regards
