Strange Pain after c3 c4 fusion

Has anyone had these wierd symptoms:

I had c/2 c/3 fusion one year ago.  Like many in this group, I was debilitated prior to surgery.  The size of my disc herniation provided an odd excitement for all that were envolved in my care. Two very odd things happened post surgery.  As soon as I was freed from the soft collar, after walking for 5 mintutes, my left upper mollar lit up like a christmas tree.  Everyone shrugs there shoulders at that one.  I had a root canal and all is fine there.  The second thing is that I had pain in my neck in the muscles/joints behind my ears.  It was a stabbing pain every time i turned my head.  I did not have this pain prior to surgery.  6 months of pt got me thru that but I have not been able to get back to whole.  After about five hours of normal activity, my neck joints behind my ears stop functioninog properly.  They pop and crack and swell and the cycle seams to continue until headaches ensue.  I'll rest for an hour.  Then about five hours later, the cycle returns.  I'm curious if anyone else has any of these symptoms.  I go for my one year visit very soon and hope to get more than a shoulder shrug this time.  My thoughts and prayers go out to those of you who are suffering and are obvously worse off than I.
