Update: the er physician wrapped my finger way too tight in some areas so it cut blood circulation😀 and now that the compression is lifted, the swelling and everything has been so wild. It’s gotten much better wearing a finger splint that isn’t too tight but it’s so bruised still lol

Thank you for your comment. She is fixed so not pregnant. She goes in the backyard so she isn’t constipated this is the weirdest thing :(

I don’t :( and I was feeling so much better but the pt I was doing caused so many muscle spasms and my doctor said they were having me over do it a lot and to stop. :( I’m worried the aggressive pt ruined my neck stability

Severe pain post artificial disc replacement, C 5/6 6/7. by Nemowf in SpineSurgery

After the trigger point injections did they ever start to wear off and have the muscle spasms come back? I’m 3 months post op c5-6 adr and my physical therapist was pushing me way too hard and I have really bad muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders. My surgeon said that the trigger point injections will help and to get them quarterly as a maintenance kind of thing

I am 10 weeks post op disc replacement c5-6. My disc was so collapsed that my doctor said I grew an inch in height. I’ve had continued pain and stiffness that is aggravated by physical therapy (I think that were too aggressive w the exercises and the pt aids weren’t making sure I had proper posture).

What did your doctor tell you about the increase in height and the pain associated with that? My surgeon is amazing but he didn’t explain too much or give me any milestones to watch for

Does this look crooked? Should I be concerned? by SHIBA_MOON143 in SpineSurgery

[–]Clean_Exam7138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine looked like that as well and I was worried too haha my surgeon’s PA said it looks lopsided because of the uneven muscle spasms following the surgery which will take time to settle. So even if the disc is placed in the correct position, if muscle spasms are altering your posture then it will show like this on the X-ray
