saw my surgeon about worsening neck, shoulder and arm pain. Xray looks good. My bone is growing in nicely and fusing with the donor graft. The cage around the operated vertebrae is in place. He said this nerve pain can happen spontaneously, no obvious reason, and may resolve on its own. He prescribed a short course of steroid and Gabapentin for pain. Will see me in eight weeks. If not better he will get an MRI. I think this will go away.

So glad to hear your good news!

@smoochy Sounds like good advice and, hopefully, the pain will resolve itself.

That is good news for you, hopefully the pain will go away in time.
I have pain in my shoulder where the surgeon put in a plate when I broke it last winter.
He offered to remove the plate but I am not interested in going thru another surgery....for now I will deal with the discomfort.

Fantastic! Hope the pain goes away soon!

@smoochy. Things sounds promising. At least you didn't walk out with a subsequent surgery date. We'll keep fingers crossed for you.

That sounds encouraging, Smoochie, is the Gabapentin working well for you?
