I'm hoping to get a spinal cord stimulator soon, though, and maybe that will block the pain to some degree.
Anyway...glad you are here and hope you're having a good day today!

Im new here too. 3 months post op on ACDF C-5,6,7. I had the shoulder blade pain too, which I joked to everyone that it felt like I had been shot. I does hurt tho, but that part of my pain has subsided a lot. For the most part I am glad I had the surgery, but on days like this after I have done something simple like clean the house I wonder if I will ever get better. I mostly have residual nerve pain in my arms, and muscle spasms in my shoulders and neck. I have most of my ROM, and have not done PT. I still have high hopes, and have to keep telling myself that it all takes time. hope you are feeling better soon!
