Post surgery burning pain

All I can say is I have a lot of sympathy for your situation, I did not have the same procedure rather a spinal fusion which you refused, and it is hell to recover from, if I ever will recover. I have no info on the course my symptoms are expected to take to resolve, I guess they never will. I am exercising very hard and no progress. I also cannot sleep due to ongoing pain from procedure. I cannot understand how long we are supposed to put up with this - doctors do not communicate on this at all, leaving quality of life post-op to guesswork, depression and "who cares" once the procedure is over.

Hi solom174,

I feel your pain mate and I am sorry that it is like this for both of us.

My neurosurgeon in Florida told me that my surgery was a success!

But if I judge it from my point of view, because I am the one feeling the pain, I didn't think it was.
He may have done it correctly, but the pain is actually worse than before at the moment and chronic.
It is taking my breath away. I don't know how I am going to cope. I hope the it will improve eventually.

I am still ridden with a lot of left sided stabbing neck pain probably due to the inflammation caused by the procedures. My left SCM and Trapezius are incredibly sore. I also think that I still have nerve pain because I feel it deep inside my neck shooting into the left arm, then feeling it into the left foot.
I have been taking Baclofen with little success because I can't get Flexeril in Australia.

I thought that this was going to be my life changing operation that would completely free me of pain and stop taking all those pain meds.
I have had undesired side effects with Nortriptyline, Gabapentin, Lyrica etc. Opioids can only be taken for a short time and NSAIDS drugs do not work for me.

Here are my surgery videos:

I am still in a lot of pain. I will need some time to recover properly

These are my neck surgeries from the 29 Aug 2023
