Gentle cervie hugz. It is so early. Your neck is terribly angry and letting you know it. The last time I had a cervie was years ago. It went well but I was having all sorts of radicular stuff going on in spite of the fact that I was obeying instructions to the letter. At two weeks I was miserable and saw the surgeon on an emergency basis. He said everything looked as it should but said I had one angry neck. Duh. A round of prednisone took care of it. The surgeon admitted something I had suspected for a long time. The last step before closing is to drop in a grenade. Hang in there and keep us posted.
