Thanks for the responses spine95 and made it up. I am wearing a soft cervical collar except while showering and sleeping (as per NS instructions). M new neuro symptons have calmed down somewhat at this point. Still nervous, but not quite as despondent as I was when I first posted. I really appreciate the advice and will do my best to follow it!

I'm going through the same thing here Brian, surgery was 3.5 months ago, and after experiencing very similar symptoms as you, my surgeon sent me for an EMG/NCS where it was confirmed that I have severe nerve damage from my discs being squished for so long. You are still very much in recovery, but I would ask your dr for electro diagnostic nerve testing to rule out any further problems.
Please keep us posted.
