Three weeks ago I underwent c5/6 &6/7 discetomy and am finging the rigid collar a hard thing to get used to. I wear it continuously and change the pads after showering. I have some spasms in my throat due to 5 attempts at intubation so everything feels really tight. Does anyone have any hints to share to help oneself be more comfortable especially for sleeping?
Otherwise at this point I am doing very well pain pills only at night to get to sleep, pain in the arm is gone but some tingling in fingers still remain.
