Default How long after surgery

How long after cervical surgery will I know things have fused?
How long after surgery might the random pain subside?
And how long after surgery might I regain my strength?

It's been 5 1/2 months, and not much has changed.
A lot of random pain, and crazy weakness.
The initial atrophy to chest and triceps has not improved.

Manageable I guess, just getting frustrated.

I had a fusion due to arthritis in 2003. I still have pain in my neck that also causes Migraines. Unfortunately surgery doesn't take all the problems away. You would have to ask your doctor what's going on and when you can except things to get better.

It took take years for the actual fusion of the bone. It has to "grow" together.
