Thank you for your response! To clarify, prior to surgery my primary symptoms was intense pain in my right trapezius with pins and needles radiating down right arm.
Surgery on 8/12, ACDF on C5/6. Pain and numbness resolved.
Within last week noting pain in left arm, shoulder, mostly noted when I bring arm into hyperextension. Nothing noted on flexion. This pain is more dull and primarily noted in left shoulder, left upper back and lateral left arm.
These symptoms are entirely new and separate of prior to fusion. The right side is mostly pain free, save for occasional cramping and no numbness or pins/needles. Also to note, prior to fusion I was unable to look up without severe pain. I no longer have this symptom
I return to my Neurosurgeon in 2 weeks for X-rays and given new symptoms should I anticipate the possibility of adjacent disc herniation, or issues with fusion, or perhaps a separate issue with my shoulder ranging from tendinitis to SLAP tear
Thank you again
