muscle spasms
Quote:
Sorry, I have no experience with anterior and posterior in one day, but WOW! I do know that after having anterior cervical fusion, it took over a year for the muscle spasms to completely go away. It takes quite a while for the body to adjust to the hardware invasion. I was beginning to wonder if the muscle spasms were going to be permanent, but after about 12-18 months they finally subsided. Hang in there! :hug: Also, check on the pain medicine. There should be something that could relieve some of the post-op pain. :) |
thank you mrsalkire,
It helps to know what to expect, even if pain is the expectation.The docs say there is "a little" more pain with the posterior approach--- only other patients who have gone thru the same experience will tell it like it is. I hope your pain is gone soon and you get experience more improvement. You wroted, " I did it because I didnt really see any choice I couldnt stay the way I was." Exactly how I feel. |

Any thoughts or feedback will be appreciated. |
Posterior & anterior c3-7
I am a week out of surgery. No feeling in right foot & in a wheelchair
The front incision doesn't bother me...the back incision is beyond Painful still. The scabs on my scalp are due to the vice they place Your head in once they flipped me over to secure the cage with screws I am in a rehab facility to do PT & OT ... My follow up with my surgeon Is 7/19/14. I have a ton of questions...WHY IS MY FOOT left without feeling!!! Has anyone experienced such intense pain as me? I am on meds for pain But even those can't combat this intense feeling... Any feedback would be Great?!?! |
