First I had the chronic neck pains, then a numb index finger, then a little weaker here and there, and then the c6-c7 just blew out.
Insane pain put me in the ER, I then went to every doctor I could think of trying not to have surgery. But as atrophy immediately hit my right pectoral and right triceps, I had a discectomy/fusion 1st of July.
I was back to work pretty quick, part time within a month, and back full time at 2 months, mainly because It's just the way I am.
But I'm still in a lot of pain that tends to migrate above and below the site, shoulders and mid back.
Atrophy has not remedied at all, but I seem to be getting a little strength back.
But just can't get back into any of my previous life tendencies, and getting quite irritated that things will stay just as they are.

If anyone else has had the same surgery, I'd love to rap a bit.
Thanks
