I had the ACDF and the surgery went ok, however it ended up taking quite a bit longer than the neurosurgeon had planned because he said that once he got inside that i had severe osteoporosis. I suffered with for about 3 years at least before I opted to have the surgery. I had disc herniations at c 4-5 and 5-6. Anyway, they treat me for osteoporosis….. Now months post-op from ACDF I still have terrible pain. My neurosurgeon keeps telling me that he cannot see why I am still in pain. He says everything looks perfect. Has anyone else experienced this same ACDF pain post op?

I went back to work this past week. I am ACDF post op and my complaints at this juncture is my chin is still numb along my incision, some swallowing issues sometimes I get some burning in my chest close to my armpit, burning in my tricep and burning in my elbow. My shoulder is getting better with the PT but I overdid it today and created some muscle spasms, but my worst physical complaint by far is how stiff my neck is. I’m very depressed that I elected to do the surgery. I really thought all my pain in my shoulder was caused from my c4, c5 -c6 herniated discs, but I still have that pain with all these new terrible symptoms.
