Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion spinal injuries are very dangerous and any kind of nervous or neurovascular bundle compression or herniation takes alot of time to heal i t may take from 6 to 12 months . i dont wont you to worry if your nur.surgeons say that every thing is healed then its only a matter of time and patience with some hot massages , physiotherapy , muscle relaxants , painkillers , even yoga and i am sure you will get better such injuries in cervical spines may be fatal so you passed it i think you will pass your healing time time to .
