I had a 2nd neck surgery three weeks ago. They did it posteriorly and added more screws and plates. It was extremely painful at first, but I am doing much better. The only problem I have is I get really bad headaches and my scalp gets sore on the left side of my incision where your scalp pokes out a little bit. I am thinking that this brace, which I wear 24 hours a day and sleep in, is rubbing and causing that. My scalp gets tender to the touch. Just curious if anyone else has had that problem?
Thanks
Sue

I just had posterior after anterior 3 weeks ago. I am experiencing the same thing but mine is pretty painful and just above the collar. I see yours was over a year ago. What was it? How long before it goes away?

I am 5 weeks after posterior and it's getting a little better but still sore. I know I'm used to the collar so I don't think that is the problem.. Going to ask surgeon in 2 weeks. I'll let you know what he thinks

I had anterior 2 years ago and posterior cervical fusion 3 weeks ago. Very painful scalp pain. Just above the collar so I don't think it's that. Is this common? How long does it last?
