I recently had an ACDF in Apil,in which they didn't use a bone graft.I think there was an artificial disc and titanium plate used.I still have pain and numbness in my left arm.I also have severe pain in my neck when I turn it to the side or up and down.I was assured that by now I would be pretty much pain free but here I am asking why I'm not!! I had an appointment in May and June,and in the doctors notes he stated if I didn't improve then he wanted to do an MRI and CT scan with contrast and a nerve velocity test.I would really appreciate another opinion of what is going on with me.I was injured on the job and haven't received the best medical treatment.I also have one other symptom,my neck makes a popping noise all the time and when I move my head it sounds as if I have gravel in my neck.Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
