Someone please tell me there’s light on the other side!!
I had a c6/7 fusion 5 months ago, the burning pain, stiffness and soreness is worse than before surgery, I’m now experiencing right sided facial numbness, severe migraines and a buzzing burning pain down my right leg. I have been at pt or hydrotherapy twice weekly for the last 14 months, with the exception of 6 weeks post surgery.
My new mri and ct scans indicate satisfactory fusion with minor disc bulge of the 5/6 which surgeon says isn’t a problem. My EMG results are also normal even though I have pains in dermatomes c5/6 and c6/7.
I recently sort a second opinion from another neurosurgeon who suggested a cat/spect bone scan, which showed no uptake.
I see a pain specialist tomorrow for the first time and just sort of wondering what’s next and is there anything I’ve missed.
