I have lots of limitations that are permeant. Not to mention I have started to have anxiety attacks to the 10th power in crowded places or just about anywhere. Help!!! Can any relate?  |
I'm new to this but I'm so thankful for it. I am 14 weeks post op today from a cervical disc replacement on c4/5. It's been a very rough 14 weeks. Did you wake up in pain after surgery? I did. This has been so unexpected because I had cervical disc surgery 12 years go and woke up pain free. Since this last surgery, I have extreme burning nd pain at the base of my neck, across my left shoulder down my arm and to my wrist.
When I try to use my right arm too much, it hurts too. My MRI and X-ray look ok, so my dr is not taking me very seriously. I take neurontin which does help with the sharp pain. Hang in there, you are not alone. Keep track of your weekly pain, hopefully you will see improvement esch week! BTW: my dr used a new device called ROI-C. Have you heard of it?
