CERVICAL

3 years ago I removed 2 hernias c4-c5 and c5-c6   were compressing the marrow, after the surgery the doctor thought that could be cancer and made a biopsy. the resul was negative.
the pains never stopped.

a couple weeks ago I  noticed spills across the top of the back.
Day by day is increasing.
What could it be?

Calvin, I had a complicated surgery.

I was analyst too, 10 hours in front of computer. The doctor forbidden me to work, I'm retired now and I'm 48 yrs old.

Take care Kabit if you have something compressing the marrow as I had.... may you need a surgery.

Good luck

Its very common to have continued pain after these surgeries, I know, I had one too. Have you had an MRI since surgery to see if anything else is wrong? I don't know what role the hematomas have in all this, but it sounds like you need to see a Doctor ASAP.

Hi,  I'm hoping someone can give me some insight on my issue.  I started having a lot neck stiffness about 6 months ago and then it started aching and making grinding sounds about 3 months ago.  I also started experiencing tingling and numbess on the right side of my face between the ear and eye.  Doctor sent me for CT of head and said there was no tumor.  I still have the tingling. Two weeks ago I got up from another restless night of sleep and after beeing up for about an hour, I had severe pain in my neck.  mainly on the left side.  I could not move my neck to the left, I couldn't shrug my shoulder or put my left ear toward my shoulder.  It was a pain of about 12 on a scale from 1-10.  This went on for 4 days before I finally went to the doctor.  I thought maybe it was a crick in my neck.  I tried pain pills, muscle relaxers, heating pad, and bengay patches.  Nothing helped.  The pain is getting better now but if my husband hugs me and squezzes to hard, it sends the pain right back. So the Dr does X-Ray and here is what I was told:

Spurring on the C3-C4
Narrowing of the C4-C5
Spurring of the C5-C6

The Doctor is sending me for an MRI.  What does all this mean?  I am 45 years old and I am a MilTech in the Army.  Which mean I am in the reserve and I also full time Civil Service for the same unit.  I am a budget analyst which requires me to be in front of the computer about 7 hours a day.

Any insight would be appreciated.  I guess I'm trying to find out what the treatment plan will be for this.
