Can chronic pain (cervical fusion) cause chronic raised platelets?

Welcome @pegathome, I have moved your question to the Spine Health group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/spine-health/
In the Spine Health group you'll meet other members who have had cervical fusion, like @jenniferhunter @kdj @jojo58 @mhewitt2222 @dancarpenter and others who may be able to share their experiences with low platelets.
Have you discussed your bloodwork with your doctor? What do they indicate to be the underlying cause?

Colleen, thank you for making that change and hopefully I will see more about my specific issue. The cause of my problem is that I cracked the dens of my C2 vertebrae when I took a hard fall snowboarding last February. I am inclined to go ahead with fusion surgery (C1 and C2) but am interested in dealing with the limitations on turning my head after that surgery. Thanks again, Dan
