Help from those with Cervical Fusion Experience

by JMRIZZ, Aug 27, 2007 04:53PM
Quick Question for those who have gone through a cervical fusion before me.  I am about 3 weeks out from a three level fusion and have been feeling quite well as I stated.  But since Friday, I have had some burning pain between my shoulder blades.  Should I be worried?  Or is this a normal healing problem.  Perhaps I have been pushing the limit with not wearing my collar because I have felt so well.  I have not been doing a whole lot, but I am moving around a bit more than before.  Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you. Jo Ann

I'm 2 years post fusion and the burning shoulder blade pain started about 9 months after surgery and has never gone away.
