Hi there,
I had surgery c6/c7 with fusion 7 weeks ago. What do I have to exspect from the surgery in 2, 3 or 4 months.
I still have muscles in my neck that feel stretched. Moving my head goes much better as in the beginning. Biggest problem is the loss of energy as my body feels hidden by a truck, specially in the morning.
Can you give me some advice?
I am from the Netherlands but had my surgery in Germany.
Now its monday morning I have my own company (photographer) but do not have the energy to do much. I dont use medication. The pain in my left arm en neck are gone after surgery. When is it safe to lift some weight for 5 to 10 kg?
Can you give me some good advices? I would be very happy if you would react on this email.
Greetings

Hi Mart! I'm glad to hear that your surgery has gone so well and the recovery is doing well. I think that by this point it should be okay to lift small weights like in the 5 kg range like you are talking about so long as you do not attempt to strain your neck. I think it would probably be best to check with the doctor just to be COMPLETELY sure but that is not a lot of weight to lift... Let me know what you think! Are you recovering well otherwise?
Hi Mart! It's been awhile since I've seen you post. How are you doing? Were you able to lift the weights okay? How is your recovery coming?
Hi there, my brother is about to undergo this surgery and I'd like to hear how you've been recovering because he's quite scared. If you are still around, can you let me know? Thank you.
