Default C5 C6 Fusion-2 Years Later

I had a C5 C6 fusion 2 years ago. Graft was from my hip and I was told that it took fine and the Doc said there appered to be no nerve damage that he could see. Arm pain was gone immediatly after operation. Tingling/numbness/burning sensation in two fingers on my left hand never stopped. Docs tried to conince me it was carpal tunnel syndrome---which was tested for and is not. It is the same finger pain I had befoer the surgery.

2 years later finger pain seems to be getting worse....although it is possible that it is just getting really old and I am tired of dealing with it. Some days I feel like cutting off my hand. Over the counter drugs do not help. Lately it has been very bad..the best it gets is annoying like a mild headache.

Anyone have similar experiences or can recommend soemthing..or is this it, just accept it and live with it. I hav tried chirpractic medicine which has helped lower back but no relief to hand.
