Confused on cause of pain after 3 level cervical ADR ?

[Jarrod]

Hello,
Well had my ulnar nerve transposition and after two weeks same upper back pain still exists. So very disheartened that it is looking like maybe my ADR surgery might have been failure.... Not ready to give up yet, so the next step is the myleo ct for assurance that the Spinal nerve roots at the ADR levels are free and decompressed, I pray they are! I am going tomorrow and getting my 6 month X-rays to make sure all 3 ADR levels look good in placement at 3 months all looked good.

My instinct is that there may some entrapment of of the c8 nerve besides at the spinal nerve root level. The c7/t1 nerve root was the one causing me the pain and symptoms, c5/6,c6/7 were causing stenosis at a high level. So maybe when I injured the disc some things (muscles/ligaments etc...) shifted and compressed the nerve somewhere between the spine and the shoulder. I have no upper arm pain and no shoulder pain and sometimes just a Reich of discomfort in my left forarm. So I'm thinking that maybe it could be a brachial plexus problem or a toss problem....

The strangest thing is I can be sitting absolutely still and then the stubborn ache/pain comes on like a rush and can last the rest of the night or can go away in an hour to just return later on off most days and nights. Also when I get up to walk it sometimes feels lime the nerve or whatever it is starts pulling forward and down for the first 20 feet I walk and then it's lime it settles down and goes away only to return when I stand back up!
I know it's very strange that I can also jog and it not bother me, and that with flexion of the neck I can feel it pull down the upper back and get the same pain.... Sorry guys for my blabbering, but I am so frustrated and lost a d scared to make a wrong move so I don't damage myself anymore Im trying to wait it out and hopping it slowly goes away , but would at least lime to know what I'm dealing with.... So it wasn't the ulnar nerve a d I hope it's just an entrapped nerve somewhere other than my spine so I can get to the bottom of it as I pray I'm not stuck with this the rest of my days...thank u all for listening!

Sincerely, Jarrod
