Jarrod,

did you get t-spine mri before surgery? If so that should answer any question about the condition of your t-spine.

The pain you describe between the shoulder blade sounds like the typical referred pain from lower cervical issues. I had this pain and it was largely resolved by my cervical ADR.

You are kind of stuck waiting it out. Unless something drastic happens, you have to wait and see. Do not expect to be pain free following such a big (or any) spine surgery. We look to get better, but perfect is for the lucky few.

All the best,

Mark
