I had alot of pain for three weeks too The fourth week, I got better day by day. Ask your doctor for a muscle relaxer such as soma. You may be experienceing spasms that hurt terrible. However the tingle, and numbess should have resloved a bit better. Call your neruo surgeon as see what he says. My shocks and tingles were gone as I healed. I am post two years C3-7 I hope you feel better soon. Can you get an incline pillow?that helped me with sleep. i couldn't even use the lazy boy for ahwile. Give a call just to ease you own mind. I wish you all the best. ginnie
