Problem In Vision Towards Corners And Cramp In Neck
I have numbness on left side of head and sharp pain on right side after surgery for sever cervical stenosis of the spine. The surgery was 4 October 2013. When turning neck to the right or to the left, I can t see either of my shoulders. I also get a cramp in my neck when turning my head to the right. When I lower my head forward it feels as if I am pulling or stretching. Is this something I will have to live with, is this normal?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you had surgery on the cervical spine, there will be some contractures and hence the pain.
You may need to have physiotherapy, for relief of the pain by relaxation of the muscles.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically and muscle relaxant anti inflamatory drugs for few days,
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato,egg, chicken, and sea foods for few days,to avoid the contractures, and pain.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
