I had my ACDF C6 and C7 surgery yesterday. So far so good. I am in a soft cervical collar, my doc wants me in it 24/7 for 4 weeks. I am very stiff and sore today. The muscles in my upper back and neck/shoulders HURT !! I also have a wicked headache. I have been speeling in my recliner, I tried the bed, but I was too uncomfortable. I have some arm pain and the 3 fingers that were very numb,are doing better too, but everything is better than before. I am on lortabs every 6 hours and clclobenzaprine 3 times daily. Thanks for all the help, Karen
