Hi all. Im glad to finally find a site I can read about other people & their experiences with similar surgery.
Anyhow, less of the rambling. I was wondering if anyone has experiences anything like me after disc fusion surgery. I fractured my c3 in a car crash and had surgery a while later. Surgery was through the front left side of my neck. I have healed very well. I was in no pain at the time or now (fingers crossed never will either). Now, with all that said - i have noticed that my left lip curl is only slightly there so my smile is a bit slanted. I left eye looks a little wider (i think it's the lower eyelid that lays lower) and my hair (i used to keep is spikey) curves to the left.
These changes are only noticable when i point them out to people, so that's a good thing but does anyone know if this is set to be a constant condition? The surgery was in February and it is now mid November. I know nothing about nerve damage etc so im not sure if im just making false hopes or not.
Any advise will be greatly appreciate folks
