Default Had 2 level mobi-c disc replacement

On 12/23 had surgery to fix my herniated disc's c5-6 and c6-7. I also suffered muscle loss of strength right arm which started 12/16, but got worse, so they did surgery immediately. I still have loss of strength right bicep and part of arm, but seem to be regaining a little now. My c5-6 right side root nerve was severely compressed.

Jason,

Congrats! What are your pain levels like now? And are you taking NSAIDs?

Also, a little homework for you:

Pain behind my right shoulder. I do not know why? Maybe connected to nerve damage. I still cannot do a pull up. Not taking any pain medication. Regular pt.

Take it slow, try to be patient. It takes a long time to recover from spine surgery.

Did you discuss pain meds of any kind with your doctor?
