Really worried, need some advice

Hello everyone, As you know I will be going for an ACDF Dec,26 on the C5-6
& was pretty convinced after meeting with the surgeon that was what was needed. Well shortly after I was hit from behind with a grocery cart, hard enough to snap my neck back & send me flying.
Every since then I have had esculated pain in the right arm & lower back.
Before this all the symptoms matched up to the C-56 with the thumb & other areas. Now I have more problems then ever & the majority of the pain & problems are in the middle, ring & pinky area. Actually the entire arm hurts as well as the left. Could this still be coming from the C5-6?
I mentioned it to the surgeon & he said it did not change the surgery plans, but I am worried. The pain is unreal & getting the headaches & pain even deep in the throat, strange. Another is my ear, I have been having a burning sensation on the outer part. Does any of this sound familier?

I know the hit from the cart did something. Does not take genious to figure that out. After everything hurt worse & the right side pain increased like crazy in the upper area & right side along with my lower back. I want to make sure that I am not having surgery done & will come home with all this other pain still existing.
I would really like some advice or opinions. Really worried as this hurts like mad & has me up everynight. Thanks & god bless, Sammy

PS sky I am worried about you, have not heard from you. Hope you are just busy with school & all is well. By the way the collar brand is aspen. Whats the reason for wanting to know the brand, hopefully I have a good one.

Re: Really worried, need some advice

That sounds like a whiplash. Before you go on the surgery, insist on doing another mri to check what happened. Really sory to hear it happened to you.

I had an aspen, make sure you get extra pads from dr or medical supply as they get ickky pretty quickly. Some say use a silk scarf to help. I was in one 4.5 weeks and went thru 2 sets.

Re: Really worried, need some advice

Thanks, the neck brace came with extra pads & as far as the cart my daughter was trying to read a magazine while she was pushing the cart & I was in a hurry so she was moving along pretty fast following me but not watching where she was going. All I know is since that day things have changed in my right side (cervical) & lower back.
I just want to know can 2 discs cause all this pain & problems? Can anyone tell me if this is the same for any of you? I guess I need some reassurance. I am getting pain deep down in the throat area, has anyone experianced anything like that?
I am a mess & its really getting to me. Sammy
