My Dr. used a bone bank for the fusion and from what I've heard, this avoided a great deal of pain to my hip. I still have some mechanical pain in my neck area that is of some concern. I have been without a collar for three days now. Wore soft collar after surgery for awhile. Has anyone else had this type of surgery? Is the neck pain I'm experiencing standard for this type of surgery after 15 days. I'm thinking about returning to work (Office Work)next week starting out with 1/2 days. Any feedback or advice would be appreciated. : Hello I had the same surgery in Sept. all has gone well. I have just lately started to have some pain in my right arm and shoulder. mostly when I over do it. Hello. Hope it keeps going well for you. I got some pain down my left arm today after returning to work for 1/2 day and driving to store. Did you have neck pain for a while after your surgery and how long did you wear a collar afterwards. What does your Dr. say about your current pain? Was it C6/7 as well? Follow Ups Post a Followup If you post a followup: Please review our message board guidelines. Please keep messages on topic.
