i had ACDF of C 5-6 C 6-7 Nov. of 2010.Now i am in constant pain in my neck, left shoulder burning and sharp shooting pain in my wrists . Dr says it is C-4 5 and says i need either anterior fusion or posterior fusion. Not sure what to do? Can you help?
Hello, It may be due to nerve compression due to fusion at cervical spine level. For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation. You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation. You may require physical therapy after physiotherapist consultation. Furthermore, you can take tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
