@annie1 I feel so blessed to have been introduced to Dr Jian Shen through my pain management doctor. There are so few endoscopic spine surgeons; the training is way above and beyond traditional Neuro-surgery. I think we will see more doctors with this specialty in the future. I feel pretty good since my cervical spine surgery in September 2025. I have intermittent neck pain, usually in the morning but it subsides without any intervention. To put this in perspective, by the time I had surgery my headaches were intense, 24/7 causing nausea and vomiting. I had minimal range of motion. Now, almost 5 months later I turn my head with ease and the pain I do have is manageable. I also
continue occupational therapy and follow the home program daily. I wish you well with your journey, however you choose to proceed. Keep us posted.
