Please help. I am 15 weeks post op acdf and recovery has been terrible. Neurosurgeon cannot figure out why I'm still n so much pain. When I woke up from surgery, my left rm was dead weight and I had xtreme pain the the back of my neck....15 weeks later, pain s better in the back of my neck, but my arm hurts bad to move it up or out, pain is like a spasm. It also burns in the upper rm and forearm, worse at night. I got a cortisone shot in my shoulder today and the ortho asked if I had been diagnosed with RSD, I said no, and that was the end of the conversation. After reading about it, I am scared. I've had the Nerve test which revealed mild CTS in both wrist, I'm having more nerve test Tuesday. My hair and nails have grown somewhat faster but I haven't had a hair cut since theday before surgery, so, maybe not. I have no changes to skin tone or color and I don't have visible swelling in m arm. Any comments, suggestions, advice please......
