What Causes Severe Neck Pain After Surgery?

Hi, I am a 44 yr old female. I have had 2 neck surgeries this year. C3-7. I am in chronic neck pain and have tried PT, OT, Pool therapy, massage, acupuncture, pain management, injections, pills, chiro, etc. I have a wonderful surgeon who is trying to help me in my crisis, but the MRI looks OK, shows stenosis, but dead-end. HELP!!

Spine Surgeon,  's  Response
I would suggest getting a CT done to see the bony structure also. Usually a treatable cause can be found in such cases. Stenosis does not cause neck pain. Though your neck cant be made as 100% better but improvement can be attempted if a cause is found.
