Hello,

Well I finally had my surgery on 6-2-10 I was up and walking the next day felt realy good. All my symptoms I thought were gone. After I was home for 3-4 days I started getting severe headaches, dibilitating, vomiting and couldn't function. Two trips to the ER and a call to my surgeon later. I was told it was my medication. I stopped taking them a few days ago and have been living with the pain... Today I started to get leg weakness when I stand up. After about a minute of standing and walking my legs start going nurab and I feel as if I am going to fall. Yesterday I was outside just watering plants and I tripped and fell to the ground it hurt a lot but did not seem to upset my neck but the new symptom I am worried about.
Ha anyone had these symptoms after surgery? Is this something I am going to have to live with or is it temporary? Any suggestios? Should I be worried?
 
HI Sandi...come on down to the Spinal Cord Disorders board with the other "cervies". We have someone who is about 3 weeks post-op from an ACDF to C5-6 and he's looking to compare notes.

Hang in there................Jenny(fused C3 to T1 and may be getting longer)
