lacky girl asked:
I seen my Orthopedic doctor last week and he won’t help me anymore just says come back as needed.I am still in pain from my surgery 18 months ago. I have more bad days than I do good. I am still experiencing some of the symptoms like I did before my surgery. Please help I don’t know to do.
My surgery was Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion, C5-6, With Allograft and Plating (EBI Vuelock Plate).

Try your Primary Care doctor. But they may feel as if you have had enough pain meds, they can become addicting. Or try a chiropractor, mine saved my job for me when I was being forced to accept a demotion because of limited duty.

What type of surgery did you have, you do not say.
