At 4 weeks you have the onset of new symptoms? Or, is this a slight worsening of existing symptoms?

When are you due for follow-up xrays?

When you get ADR, you reorganize the system... even more so with multi-level procedures. Your muscles, ligaments, etc... are all being called upon to support you in different ways... kind of like doing a sport you are not used to and getting really sore. If this is the kind of feeling you are describing... it makes sense that you have the onset of these symptoms when you reduced collar use... and probably upped your activity level... and possibly are reducing med levels???

Is increase in arm / scapula pain sudden or gradual.... along with other symptoms?

When are you due for follow-up xrays?
