i had c4-c7 spinal fusion in dec of 2013..my right arm and hand were always in pain and now its subsiding...its now may!  but i woke up the other morning with what i thought was a stiff neck but its seems to be getting worse.   it hurts when i touch the front of my neck where the incision is and down the right side of my neck into the top of my shoulder.  is this normal???  has anyone had this sort of pain and does it go away?  not sure i should call the doctor at this point since my insurance ran out and i am not covered anymore.
