What Causes Severe Neck Pain Inspite Of Undergoing Laminectomy Post Neck Surgery?
My neice had surgery to relieve pain in her neck, they did a laminectomy and sent her home. She is now back in the hospital with uncontrollable pain. I feel they damaged another nerve fixing the one. She can t move without spasms throughout her whole body.

Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns. I am sorry to hear about your niece and complications from surgery. This is a rare complication following laminectomy and is one people need to be more aware of before going to surgery. I hope you niece recovers. She may need additional surgery to relief the pressure on the nerve
