I had a fusion of C4-5 andC5-6 last October. I developed radiculitis/opathy...I am not able to reach and lift my left arm. I have numbness down my arm and pain around the rotator cuff and down the arm. I have been in physical therapy since 8 weeks out.
I have been told that this is a waiting game, but after 6 months I have improved very little.
Is it possible that I will not improve? Why?
Could this be a surgecal error?
This has affected my livelihood.
Thank you for your answers.
