Before the surgery I had use of my arms, hands and fingers with limitations.  I had throbbing pain and numbness in my arms, hands and fingers.  Some places more so than others.  Pain also at times radiated.

One time placing a bottle of wine up in a shelf, I could not grip it enough and it slipped through my hand and stuck my head.  I had some what limitation in my neck range of motion. 

After the surgery, I have a full range of motion in my neck.  the numbness experienced earlier was eliminated.  At times I have sharp pain shooting through; which has been explained as the nerve coming back alive.  I still experience light similarities of before the surgery in very low doses.  Dr. Bindal is an excellent  Neurosurgeon.  His staff is excellent being there for us no matter what time of day or night, and no matter what the question.  YES, I highly recommend him and if needed would use him again.
