How Long Will It Take To Recover Post Cervical Spinal Artificial Disc Placement?
I had a cervical spinal artificial disc placed 8 days ago. I ve had 4 prior surgeries before and don t remember the recovery being this hard. I have no energy, I m moody and emotional and have a feeling of being poked in the throat constantly. I don t want to eat, I m scared of it making the pain worse. My shoulders hurt when I try to rest, yet I don t want to get up. I do move around at least every hour or so. When will I feel better?

Hello,
Generally eight to twelve weeks is required for symptomatic improvement. Physiotherapy may be effective for faster recovery.
