Hi @michc56 - sorry to hear you are not feeling concern from your neurosurgical team or being provided coping measures or what to expect.
Having suspicious issues such as itchy spots, random needle-like pain in my legs, arms and back would be disconcerting to me.
Fellow members in this discussion such as @mpritch @davidh71 may have input for you on whether they've experienced something similar with their surgical teams. If so, they may have ideas on how they've navigated it. @jenniferhunter also may have insights for you.
Which of the suspicious symptoms you mentioned are bothering you today?

@lisalucier
Today is sore upper right arm, and general fatique. Yesterday it was sharp quick pains in my upper thigh - at different times in each leg, I keep reading what I can find on the internet. These seem to be common enough post surgery.
My point is that I would expect the surgeon's team of RNs and PAs to provide more information on what I might experience. They take 5-10 minutes to review X-Rays for hardward positioning, measure my arm strength (press against their hands - so precise ha ha). Physical Therapy helped me over removal of neck brace to regain strength in neck and shoulder muscles so I could turn more freely. That was it!
I would like to know more about how nerves rejuvenate and how to maximize the recovery. Nadda.
