I'm wondering how many people whom had acdf with plating have/had post op numbness and tingeling at times in their arms and hands. Did it go away with time or did anything else resolve it. If you don't want to post, please PM me. Thanks.

Okay, since no one has replied I assume that after acdf any numbness or tingling is not normal.

I do. It's actually worse then before in my right arm. I also have new numbness and pain in my middle finger and ring finger. The surgeon is going to do an MRI if this doesn't improve. I still have a lot of pain at the back of my neck also.

I too have some post-op numbness and tingling, especially in my 'good' arm and hand. I am putting it down to post-op inflammation etc and am hoping it subsides in time although it is not really bothering me I have found myself being a bit clumsy and dropping things etc.

Take care,
