I had surgery three weeks ago -- one cervical disc removed, bone inserted along with a titanium plate. The surgery worked like magic on the old neck, back and arm pain. I have new pain from the surgery in my neck and upper back but it's nothing compared to the pain before. I am happy with the surgery and I am off painkillers. I have taken Prozac for depression for years and can have gotten proficient at dealing with bouts of depression. But I am really amazed how exhausted and depressed I am. Is this the surgery? the steroids? ACCCK.

So how did it go? How did you deal with it? I feel like I'm in the same boat. 3 weeks after two disc and bone inserts with a plate. Stop all pain meds 4 days ago and it seems like everything is hitting me at once.
