I had C5-C6 single level ACDF 5 months ago in Dec. 2014 using ROI-C. I only had right arm pain before surgery. I was fine for about a month then I started having right arm/ neck pain and it has only gotten worse. Wondering if it is the ROI-C device as I know many people who had this surgery and were fine 6 months later. None of them used ROI-C though. Anyone use ROI-C. Feedback would be nice.

Have you tried cervical isometrics to strengthen your neck muscles? My big issue with these ACDF surgeries is that they just remove the deep neck flexor support worsening the amount of stress on the neck and other muscles causing more pain and dsyfunction.

It's been 6 years since my ACDF surgery. Other than flexibility limitations, I have been doing great and have had no related problems.
However, as the surgeon warned me about 6 years ago, I am having the same intense pain and problems on the left side of my shoulder, left arm and neck. I see a neurosurgeon in the same medical group next week for diagnosis (my surgeon retired). I'm not looking forward to another surgery. I was 60 last time and expect that recovery may be much more difficult this second time, if I have to have it. |
