I had Cervicle Fusion surgery in October 2005. I began having severe pain i n the right side of my neck in January 2008. I complained to my pain management doctor about it and he basically said it was probably just muscle related. I recently started seeing a different physician and he ordered xrays and discovered I have a broken screw in the area of the fusion. I am scheduled for a CT scan and then after reviewing the results, he will decide the next course of action. Has anyone had this happen to them? What was done if you did?
A friend of mine had this happen to them. They had to have surgery to remove the screw. That seemed to correct the problem.
To the gal who has had multiple screws break, I sympathize with you. What did they do for you? I just found out that I have a broken screw and I am schedule to see my surgeon on Wednesday.
I hope things get better for you.
