Post acdf question
Hiya all
It has been just over five months since I had 2 level acdf. Last few days I have been in tremendous pain. I woke yesterday with pain radiating from my neck down my left shoulder and arm. Same today. When I move my neck to the right, the pain is even worse. Has anyone had this, and what was your cause of it?

Eve, could it be a spasm? I know I get really tight muscles and it sends the pain radiating across my shoulders and down my arms. Just to be on the safe side, please call your doctor to report. Sorry you are having increased pain.

Feb 2006 did something really stupid and injured my neck. After all sorts of conservative treatments, I had a 3 level ACDF C5 to T1. Complications from that surgery led to partial paralysis and a long battle to get back to where I am today. Unfortunately, I did not fuse correctly. May 08 I had a revision to the surgery, including both the anterior and posterior approach, 2 vertebrectomies, and much titanium in my neck. I am still taking it day by day as I learn to deal with the residual effects of the spinal cord injury and permanent nerve damage. I'm here to offer support and encouragement to all the newcomers. Feel free to PM me if you want to.
Not sure if spasm or not, but I sent you a PM, thanks, you're the best
