Hands numbing

I had a ACDF in Dec. Everything is fused just fine. For the last 2 wks, my hands feel funny, not quite asleep, but not co-operating with my brain. My neck has felt strange (love my technical terms), achy like. Could I have something pinched, like I have in my lumbar area that's spasing my hands? Any thoughts out there?

numb hands

Hey Maven,
If something feels different the past two weeks then there probably is something going on, nobody knows your body better than yourself.
Consult your Dr and ask questions, maybe an EMG would be the next step?
I have had tingling and numbness in my left arm and hand both pre-op and
post-op of my multi-level cervical fusion due to nerve impingement.
Keep us posted to what you find.
