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.

Do let us know know things go for you.

SOOOOoo, do call your doctor tomorrow morning.
