Cervical spondylosis with myelopathy

Posted , 5 users are following.

I am struggling to find information online with anyone who can relate to my case....

I had ACDF surgery on c4/c5 and c5/c6 3 and a half weeks ago. The numbness I contantly feel in my little fingers, my legs, my abdomen and hips changes a lot. I often get fluttering sensations in my feet. I do not have any pain though.it is almost like my body has given itself a local anaesthetic.

Can anyone else relate to this?

    I feel you chrissy. I didn't know what was happening to me. But my two little fingers on my left hand feels like I got a shot on Novacaine.
