Hi everyone I am now 12 days past my surgery. All in all I think I am doing pretty good. I haven't seen my ns yet but the pain is getting better.Sometimes I have some pain in the front of my neck from surgery and it is starting to itch.
I feel so much better now than before surgery.It feels good to be getting my life back.Before surgery I was in so much pain I would be sick. The ns said the disk was so tightly compressed he had a real hard time getting it out and he believes this is where all the pain was coming from.The numbness in my hands and fingers is gone and although I still have some pain in the back of my neck it isn't as bad.It is only after I am up and around for awhile but rest helps.
I was wondering how long it takes to be able to go back to work. I am a hair dresser and my job requires me to keep my head down alot and to have my arms up over my shoulders alot.
Thanks to everyone for all their help on here. It has been great!
May God bless each of you. Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year filled with good health and best wishes
