Fusion C2-T1 pre-surgery mobility issues

4 years ago I had C2 - T1 cervical fusion, for the first 6 months everything was good, on the 7 th month the neck started to get stiff, over the next 2 years the stiffness has increased along with headaches, pain in left arm and hand. The physical therapist says there is a nerve impingement, neurosurgeon says there is no evidence of nerve impingement. Now it’s on to the next step. Pain management injection into T2 vertebrae. If I get relief then the neurosurgeon says a T2 fusion.
I really have to rethink this as I’m over the fact that they are “ Practicing Medicine”.
Thank God they make neck collars as I get Hugh relief when wearing.

I appreciate your information.I'm about to have a C2- T1 fusion on this coming monday.Any information you can give me about the first and 2nd month of recovery.Would be very helpfull! But, for example, how long were you in the hospital? How long till you could do activities of daily living? How long were you on narcotics?And were you comfortable after you were weaned off? Really?Looking forward to getting some information before hand.
