Thanks Dubious. The Dr. Who performed my EMG and NCS said the same thing and indicated that it could take up to a year for that to calm down. It is the feeling like a softball hit me square between the shoulders is what has me bothered, and the spasms in my neck that I had prior to the surgery. But FORTUNATELY my MRI results were a lot better than the first MRI I had prior to surgery except for C4-5 showingmild neural foraminal narrowing and a slight bulge where before surgery it was normal. Hmmmmm...... My Dr. Feels that I am still in the healing stages, which I know I will be for a while, I just get so impatient, and everyone in this house has always relied on me for everything so that when I am down, chaos ensues...... Not fun! My dr also added that the pain between my shoulder blades is not normal. Soooo, We are trying for a block next week, have any of you had any relief with these, even temporarily? Meanwhile, I am back on Lortab 7.5, which has helped better than the neurontin.
