Hello amk55, sorry you are having issues now, I knpow the feeling. I had a 3 level anterior cervical decompression and fusion C4/5 C5/6 C6/7 in Feb/09. Did you get an MRI's or xrays after your surgery. My neurosurgeon ordered 2-3 xrays and an MRI within the first year to make sure the fusion was taking and the plate stayed in place. With these tests it was discovered that C3/4 herniated and I have ostoephytes at C4/5, C5/6 and along with visits to a vascular surgeon, was recently diagnosed with TOS. I have constant severe pain with radiculpathy(bilateral). The pins and needles sensations and numbness drives me crazy and gives me clumsy hands, eggs are the worse thing to clean up off a floor. I hope you can get somes type of xray thur your doc.
Good Luck Bunz
