I had cervical fusion c5 c6 11-2010 to feel like this was the best thing that happened to me in three years... I have been active in ongoing pt which helps for a day or two then slowly right back to the pain mode... I am now suffering from neck pain L shoulder blade pain, L arm pain and numness in my L hand and fingers. The worst pain is my ongoing headache that at times is so bad I am ready to go postal... I find at times, control loss of my L hand which turns out to be an embarrassment due to dropping items aroung the house and at work and when dining out, dropping my fork and water in my plate. The pain that I had felt before my operation was so bad I couldn,t set still for 1 second with my surgeon during concultation... I don,t have that pain anymore but the pain I have now, headache being at the top as #1 is just as uncomfortable. I hit this web site to see if I was along. The one pain that hirts the worse is when I explain this to my surgeon, I feel like he doesn,t here me or want to relate to the situation and at least explain that this is normal. I feel like I am now in unchartered waters. What to do???...
