I should add that the updated imaging said moderate foraminal stenosis due to unconvertable hypertrophy…isn’t that bone spurs? After the c4/5 acdf, the chest pain let go and improved over the next 6 weeks or so. But within a couple of months neck pain returned…I just started eating advil and icing again and didn’t pick up anything heavy…It didn’t dawn on me that it was the same neck muscles and shoulder blades getting tighter that it all came from the same level that I had surgery for to begin with. I plan on explaining this in more detail at my injection appointment
