terrible pain in shoulders after anteria fusion Posted: 03-16-08 21:32pm
i had a anteria fusion and disc removal 6
days ago. i have terrible pain in my
shoulder , back of neck, and between my
shoulder blades. whats going on with me?
is this due to surgery or was there a
problem during surgery that i don't know
about?
my doctor didn't even come to release me
and telll me how surgery went. he sent
another docter whom i've never met before
to tell me to make an appointment with the
surg. in 3 weeks. i asked this doctor how
my surgery went he said he had no idea. it
didn't bother me too much up until i
started getting all these other pains that
i've never had before. what should i do?
should i wait the 3 weeks to get my
questions answered or call in the morning?
i don't want the doctor thinking that i
don't trust him but these pains are
unbearable. so much that i am on this
website trying to get answers so i can
actually sleep tonight.
please help with any information.

Hello Donna,
It HURTS to read of the pain you are in
since your surgery.
I would highly recommend that you call
your doctor tomorrow and (1) ask to speak
with your doctor about the pain you are
having, and (2) make an appointment to see
your doctor at the next available
appointment opening.
A word of advice if I may - ALWAYS contact
your doctor whenever you have a question.
NEVER wait.
