Update on c3 to c7 fusion pain worse
I would like to thank everyone for responding to my post and the encourging words. It's great to come here and talk to so many people who have and are going through the same to experience. Funny how the day I posted for the first time was probably one of my worst for the pain because the next day it was almost gone! The last 3 have been the best with the various pains either gone or getting better by the hour. I hope this trend continues and realize anything can happen but I'm far more encouraged now than ever. God works in many ways and I guess I just need to keep the faith. Thanks again for all the your support.

You take good care of yourself, and let the healing continue.

Been referred to a neurologist to rule out MS
Glad to hear you are coming along. Any relief for any period of time from this pain is wonderful news.
I experience the same thing. I always tell my daughter when she texts for an update I have several kinds of days; "Pain Game" Day where Pain & I are both up and down, Good Day, where pain is negligible; Pretty Good Day where pain is present but tolerable; Not Good Day where pain kinda bad;and worst kind being "Crater Day" meaning ice packs drugs, & sleep. I sure hope you can get past the see-saw and not have to contend with the hard core pain. Chances are you may experience some level but let's sure hope that you can function as a normal human being. Take care. Please keep us posted. God Bless.
