Dhanks,

It took several months for the pain in my right arm to go away. Now 7 months post op and I have no neck pain, arm pain or shoulder pain. If I overdo it, sometimes, rarely, I get a little nerve tingling, but it's nothing. Give it some time and hope it continues to improve.

Anyway not trying to be negative.95 percent chance of all going well is a great percentage. Good luck and hope all goes well for you. Dr Clavel has a great bedside manner. You will like him.
