Re: Help Weird Pain
Sorry to hear of your severe pain.
I assume you had fusion in the neighborhood of c1 to c6? I had the same weird pain in my right arm years ago. It was not a back problem. They did an EMG. Its a shocking test that measures conductivity in nerve in your arms. Its pretty cheap... done at a regular doctors office.
This can prove that its not a pinched nerve or something. And that it is infact nerve root impingement caused by the fusion. It could be just by chance you happened to pinch the nerve and had a fusion within a close time frame.
By coincidence I am here for back problems but had the same weird pain. The doc said that I probably slept wrong and that my nerve in my shoulder was pinched for a while. This caused it to be shaped like a football instead of round. He said leave it alone for about 3 weeks and it will go away.
I did not beleive him and went out of his office in fury! It seemed like total bull. But he was right. It went away, suddenly, after about three weeks.
Hope this helps! Or at least provide hope that its not in your back.
