For many cervical patients, issues of pain and muscle tension manifest themselves with headaches... often severe. With all the cervical clients, I've not had a discussion about postop headaches except in clients that had severe headaches pre-op. I think that it's difficult to know the answers to these questions. There is so much stress and anxiety surrounding surgery and there are also issues of trauma... not only of the incision and surgery, but from being positioned on the table, etc. Hopefully the headaches will fade soon.
I called and spoke to him...
Swallowing issues are gone.
Burning in foot way diminished.
R Leg pain much better.
Stopped Lyrica because nerve symptoms are so much better.
Pain meds are at very low levels compared to pre-op.
Remember that he's not even 1 week post-op. Things look good so far... hopefully he'll post here himself soon.

PS... Jeff got to meet Sam Perroni (another GPN client). He just missed Anapurna by a day or two.
