cervical fusion
by bdm92, Jul 15, 2008 10:22PM
I had cervical fusion in March of this year, Since then I have just not felt well at all, I have all over muscle pain and ALOT of fatigue, also can not get enough sleep, my doctor did many tests and all were normal except I had a positive ana, so he sent me to a rheumatologist, this guy says this is secondary fibro, and he does not pay much attention to ana tests. He gave me some muscle relaxors and pain meds, my question is will this ever get better?
I feel like ****, and the last X ray I had done showed my fusion was not fusing as fast as the surgeon thinks it should be. I am young and do not smoke, and I am not overweight so why would the fusion be so slow.
This fatigue and muscle pain, and dizziness, headaches, is just starting to be too much to handle. Any thoughts.

How are you?
Muscle pain and fatigue is seen in many patients who have undergone a cervical fusion. The rehabilitation after fusion surgery is a long drawn process and sometimes takes many months.
I would suggest you to seek the help of a trained physical therapist as physical therapy will slowly and gradually alleviate your symptoms.
