Susan,

Great to hear I could help. You need to remember that the collar will cause your neck muscles to atrophy a bit. Maybe a PT can give you some exercises to strengthen them once the 6 weeks are up. The key objective in the six weeks is to allow the ligaments to heal and strengthen. Don't count on the collar to protect your neck. That will be up to you to be careful. Learn to turn at your shoulders.

What other symptoms are you struggling with?

My best to you.
