About 10 days ago, I had an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion to c6 and c7. It was a one level fusion, and a lot of my numbness and difficulty walking that I suffered prior to the procedure went away almost immediately. However, now I'm dealing with slight cramping and aching in my hands and feet. It's not bad, but it is irritating. Is this a common post op complaint?

I am glad your surgery seems successful. I had a lumbar fusion done, but I have had no experience with the cervical fusion. I hope there will be someone who can help with your situation. There are many caring people here, so keep checking back. Meanwhile, I wish you comfort very soon. You are in my prayers.

I had a discectomy in Jan. L5 and S1, it has been 4 months since my surgery. I am having a lot of swelling still at, and around the incesion site, with aching and stiffness. I can't raise my right arm over my head and it hurts to move it, I also have pain that runs down my right leg. My doctor ordered another MRI last month and he said the only thing that he saw was scare tissue and that would not cause my pain. I don't currently take any pain meds because of the fear of becoming dependent upon them. I go back to see him on the 1st of May and I am afraid that he is going to tell me that he has done all for me that he can. I am only 42 and I work for the state, I can not work with any type of restrictions, but I also know that I cannot return to work in this much pain. I can barely do any thing at all and if I exert myself at all I become stiff and sore and in constant pain. I understand where your coming from with the pain, and not being able to function normally. I have undergone PT 4 different times with no relief and I figure if my doctor does anything he will order more PT. I wish I could tell you something that would help you but I guess I am in the same position as you, frustrated and feeling helpless.

I went through ACDF on 4/11 for 5/6, 6/7. Felt great post op. One week after surgery, sneezed, heard/felt a pop and then instant pain back in to my neck and pain and tingling back in to my left arm, down to my fingers. Feel as thought there is a knife in the middle of my left shoulder blade.
