ACDF surgery - day 10

Hello - I had fusion surgery of C3-C4, C5-6 on November 17th. I know it has been less than 2 weeks, but I'm feeling very vulnerable, like I will break in half. I wear my collar at all times except eating and showering. My pain is manageable with meds, but I get so scared that the bone won't fuse. Has anyone else felt this way? Does this fear do away? Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experiences.

Hello and welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

I'm sorry you're dealing with these fears and feelings post surgery.
Frankly I think I'd be feeling the same way too.

It might be helpful to discuss your concerns over on the
Spinal Disorders & Back Pain Forum

all the best to your during this recovery period.
take care.
