@linney - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I wanted you to know I moved your post to this discussion where members were talking about a topic very similar to what you mentioned in your post:
- Posterior Cervical Fusion C1-C2 12/05/2025 https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/posterior-cervical-fusion-c1-c2-12052025/
Hoping members here will chime in such as @livininthestix @v9h @columbia86 and others about any pain they experienced after this surgery and how they managed it. They also may be familiar with having experienced spasms, numb arms and hands, and especially painful shoulders and chest, and have some tips to offer.
You mentioned "we." Wondering if you had this c-5,6 posterior surgery, or if it was someone you are helping care for after surgery?
