I am a 48 year old female 8 days post-op and feel great, up all day, going places. My problem is I am getting burning sensations around my c-spine. is this normal or is it that maybe I am doing too much - I am off work for a long period of time, and also bordem seems to be sinking. I am off 100% of medication, is that stupid I am still uncomfortable trying to sleep, bought a contouring pillow and finially got 1 great nights sleep, that was 2 nights ago, but the burning sensation is my most important pain thank you
