I have had 2 cervical spine surgeries. The 1st was on C4,5, and 6. The surgery resulted in C4 and T1 to bulge because of the plate. I had to have C4 fused to C5 and now I m scheduled to have exploratory surgery for pseudo-arthrosis of C4. I m now having pain just above the middle of my spine and lower spine. My feet are feeling cold and prickly. Would my symptoms be related to my past surgeries and the pseudo-arthrosis? I am on SSDI AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY.....
Hi, You are having chronic neuropathic pain following surgery. You can take analgesics like Gabapentin or Tramadol which are quite effective for neuropathic pain as in your case. If symptoms are severe you have to consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
