I had the feeling like something is there in my throat and i wasnt sure why i still have it almost 2 months post surgery , i looked at my images and there is a "spacer" there that the neurosergeon i believed put it there so that the fusion maintains its height or something. I think that is what i am feeling when i swallow, and i dont know if it will go away. I was shocked when i looked at my images cause i thought it was a piece of the fusion gone wrong, but it is meant to be there. I wonder how many of you also have a spacer in place behind the esophagus.. estella

still having pain radiating from the left neck to shoulders, traps, biceps, forearms and into my left hand/fingers. i wish i never had this ACDFprocedure. I was in pain before but it was more tolerable than the pain i am in now. I am trying to wean of the percocets, but i am in much pain if i dont take them. estella
