Neck Fusion Shocks!

Hi again,
Since my neck fusion, I have 'shocks', that run through me! It seems I can't place where it comes from. But, could it be the Neck Fusion Plate? I quit the Tramadol...and them them quite frequently now.

Wierd, to say the least! Has anyone had these, or sensations?

You know that the skeletal muscles are extremely affected during a surgery like this.  I dont know your symptoms, but could it be some inner muscles that are twitching or causing the sensations that you are describing?  Post surgery for me I took a lot of muscle relaxers to alleviate these problems.  If this is the case, then some physical therapy focused on restrengthening these muscles is what I think you would want to do.

If it is more like a pins and needles or the feeling of ants running around, that would be more of a nerve problem.  You had this surgery to take pressure off of the spinal canal.  Maybe this is some nerve paths that are waking up.  This can happen for a couple of years after a spinal surgery.

Just a couple of ideas.  Hope this helps.
