Default 5 weeks out of framinotomy C3&4

Well had my 5 week checkup today with my local (santa Barbara) nuerosurgeon. The 1" surgery site is healing nicely. A little pain up towards the jaw. But.......

My sensory nerve is just as bad if not worse than before the surgery. The affected area is my right shoulder, not down the arms. In the morning it isn't too bad but after a few hours of general use it starts its aching.

I have heard of compressed nerves being permanently damaged and I have also heard of nerves getting better after months. I waited 4 months before getting the Anterior surgery and now wished I would have gone with the ADR after only a few weeks after initial chiro induced bone spur stenosis.

Please lend your advice:
- will ADR relieve this pinch?
- time to recover from this one. patience needed?
- time to reconsider ADR?
- Stenum has a new ADR with nerve support structure?

Hope you're all are healing well!
MIKE
