I had an ACDF surgery on 9-25-07 for my C4-5,5-6 and 6-7. They removed my discs and replaced them with three plastic discs that are held in place by a titanium bracket. For the last month I've been experiencing crunching sounds that leads to neck pain. I have limited movement before the crunching and crackling noices start and I'm not able to sit in one position for too long and watching TV or reading has become harder to do. My neck feels cold alot even though it's in the 90's where I live. I put a scarf around my neck quite often to keep the heat in.
Any advise???
Also, my scar is about 21/2 inches long and it runs vertically,,, is there anyone else out there that has a vertical scar?
