@nanac Hello and welcome to Connect. I am a cervical spine surgery patient. I had a C5/C6 fusion because of spinal cord compression. I stayed in a neck brace for 3 months because my fusion was done without hardware. At that time, I had pain due to tightness from scar tissue and weakness from wearing the neck brace all the time for 3 months. After that, I did physical therapy and rehab. We are all different, and you had a pretty extensive surgery. I was able to release tight fascial scar tissue after an appropriate healing period with my physical therapist doing myofascial release and that does help relive pain for me.

There are other members discussing corpectomy surgeries in this discussion.

Thank you for replying !!
My doctor ordered another CT and MRI because of the pain I’m still having . Both my upper arms feel like they are in a vice grip and still so much mid back pain . Hopefully I will get some answers!

Thank you for this information!!
