I meant to also ask where you are feeling the weakness and burning/tingling? Is it primarily in your arms/hands/fingers or do you also have some in lower limbs?

Do you recall what was shown in your pre surgery MRI at C5-C6? Did you have spinal cord compression/flattening? Did you have disc herniation/bulge and/or osteophytes/bone spurs pressing on spinal nerve roots?

Before my first surgery on C5-C6, I had daily headaches, tinnitus, neck/shoulder pain, arms/hand/finger weakness, numbness, and tingling, bladder control issues, dizziness/balance issues and heaviness in legs/difficulty walking fast (when I used to be a fast walker compared to others). After surgery, my symptoms improved but I have some residual spinal cord injury in shoulders/arms, etc. due to delayed diagnosis and decompression (took my 4th surgeon to recognize I had cervical degenerative myelopathy at 52 after being misdiagnosed for 5 years).

Depending on the type of compression and length of time you had it, you may be experiencing symptoms due to having spinal cord/nerve roots/blood vessels being decompressed and now trying to heal. Nerves can take a long time to heal and some can have permanent damage (especially if spinal cord).
