Pain after Surgery
I had ACDF 3 weeks ago on March 8th. I was haveing terrible pain in my right arm. Right after surgery that pain went away. I was just fine for 10 days. Then, on the 10th day after surgery, I started getting pain in the back of my neck where C6-7 is. That is where I had the ACDF. Sometimes it is a sharp pain and other times (mostly) it is a burning pain. I am so afraid that something is wrong. Why would I have no pain for 10 days and then all of a sudden have the pain? I called the doctor and he said it is not normal to not have pain after surgery and normal to have pain. I go to see him on Monday. I would love to hear what you have to say since you are the ones who have gone through what I have gone through.
Thanks,
Joanie
