Does anyone have any positive or negative feedback regarding cervical corpectomy surgery? I ad C5-7 done in July and have been experiening increased severity of headaches after starting phys. therapy?

Hi--I see that you posted in October and nobody answered you. I don't know if you are still checking the boards; I hope you are. Did you have an anterior cervical corpectomy (removal of an entire vertebra along with the discs above and below)? That's what I had. I've been spending my time on the Spinal Cord Disorders Board and have found only one other person there who has had my surgery. Everyone else seems to have just had discectomies. Yesterday, I decided to look at this board, and I found you. So, if you are still checking the boards, write back, and if we had the same (or very similar) surgeries, perhaps we can compare notes. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif
