Hi ,this is the first time posting here but i had acdf in 7-2010 c5 thru c7 did well for 18 months now pain in shoulder and neck on right. I recently had mri and shows mild residual indentation of spinal cord at c5-6 not sure what that means or if its the cause of shoulder/neck pain. Surgeon called with results and said no further surgery is required. Nobody will tell me why for several months Im in pain or no solutions.

I also have herniated disc. But no Doctor told me. I requested my MRI report. Look it up on line. I am really in a lot of pain. I wake up with pain. And go to sleep with pain. I feel that my head is going to explode . Now my Dr. That I have seen want to do injections. Why? The shots will not help. I finally went to ER. The pain has went to my left side of my neck. All the way down to my left arm. Now my lower back is hurting. No one will give out meds. But ER did. Finally some relief . I have a follow up again. With a internal medicine doctor. ER gave meds for 2 days. Whew I am impressed. Injections scare me. Now that their finding out the shots are not so good. I am going for a second opinion for neck surgery. The one surgeon was gun hoe to do the surgery. Not sure what to do.

All the Doctors want to do is injections. I order my MRI results and look up on line what it meant. My neck is in serious shape. I will eventually need surgery.

I had my 2nd RFA (on my right side) 4 days ago. I'm not feeling so hot right now. It seems that the pain after this 2nd RFA has been more intense. My neck feels weak and it hurts really bad if I have to reach for anything with my right arm or try to turn my head to the left. There is still a lot of swelling in the area where the injections were done. I can't seem to keep the pain under control enough with the pain meds and icing. It's a bummer to feel like this again since I actually had a brief period (about 2 days) at the end of week one after the 1st RFA where I was starting to feel better. I got very excited when that happened. But then around the end of week 2 post RFA I began feeling that familiar nerve pain starting up again in my neck and shoulder on the left side. My left side was completely flared up as I went in to have the RFA done on the right side. The doctor told me it would be another couple weeks before the benefit of the RFA really kicks in. He told me that what I'm experiencing is normal as the nerves are still healing. He still thinks that I'm going to get a good result down the road from the RFA's. It has been difficult at times to remain positive while going through this just because it's a long time to wait to feel better. I had planned on going back to work tomorrow but I think I'm going to need more time to recover. I feel very grateful that my employer has been understanding of my situation.
