Hi doctor
Yes I am having swallowing difficulties. I saw an arthritis doc and she was the one who told me I have failed neck and back surgery syndrome. The plate needs to come out as I have had nothing but problems since the surgery. I had the flexion extension X-rays which revealed the issues I asked you about the retro and antero lishtesis and I hope it does not interfere with removal of the plate. I have had swallowing difficulties but worse a sensation that I have something stuck in my throat and some difficulty swallowing. An esoohagram revealed spasm in esophagus as well as extrinsic impression. The plate is pushing on back of esophagus making a small indentation and causing the spasm I’m frustrated and in constant pain. Which is even worse than the original pain when I ruptured the first disc. I was asking if the new issues found in the bones above my fusion would interfere with remvsl of plate. Thanks
