I have a few questions about physical therapy that I hope someone can help me with. I had my first appointment this week (10 weeks post-op c4-7 acdf) and was given some exercises to do at home. They are basic moving my head exercises such as turning my head left/right, chin to chest and extending up as well as ear to shoulder. They are absolutely excruciating. My range of motion is awful but it's so upsetting how little I can move without feeling pain. Is this normal? Do I push through the pain or will I make it worse? The PT told me to move to strain not to pain but it's all pain. I go back tomorrow but I'm really nervous. Also, since starting these exercises, I am experiencing more tingling and numbness in both hands. What is normal and what were your experiences? What kind of range of motion do you currently have? Thanks in advance for any responses.
