C6/C7 for me
My pre-op issues were:
- felt like a torn pec
- golf ball under left shoulder blade
- tendinitis in left wrist
- felt like a broken forearm at times
Strange how these things just "felt" that way. It was all caused by that disc
Woke up in the hospital and wanted to eat. Had all sorts of ice cream that night. Had them take the compression off the legs so I could start walking and get home the next day. Oh, the next morning was sore.
Had the brace, but doc said I didn't need to wear it. Had a relative come over to help out for two weeks. That helped me get out of the house a little.
Four days after surgery I was at the gym, but only on a treadmill to get some walking in. The most difficult thing was the trip there and back in the car. Neck wasn't very stable.
Thought I could go back to work in three weeks (desk job). That ended up being six weeks.
Be careful. You don't want to mess up the fusion going on.
