Hi all,
I had an ACDF back in Dec 2005. Never had a problem with my neck after that... granted, I did have quite a bit of nerve pain in my left wrist and thurab (Dr. said Hyperparesthesia), but it eventually subsided and I have been left with no pain, but only an annoying pins/needles sensation.
Last week I've noticed that when I turn my head a certain direction or even strain in the slightest, I get creeping, tingling sensation across the front of my left shoulder and my collar/bone neck area. It's a fairly strong feeling, not mild at all. I also noticed that the back of my neck feels tight and sore. This is all new to me and I am a bit apprehensive about this...
My recent activities have ranged from weight-lifting, remodeling my sons room and I also started riding my bike to work. I'm guessing that any of these activities could have affected my neck in some way, but I'm not sure.
Before calling my doc, is there anything I should be doing on my own? Ice/heat? Advil? I would like to do all that I can to get better by myself first..
Thanks so much!
