What Causes Severe Pain After Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion Surgery?

I had a Anterial Cervical Discectomy Fusion with a very large bone spur removed from the nerve. I had horrible nerve pain before the bone spur was removed and now after surgery I still have the pain. My question is how long will I still have the pain for ?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You was having nerve pain in cervical spine.It was relieved by removing large osteophytes and anterior fusion.But some pain is still there. It can be relieved by analgesic such as ibuprofen pain relief. Glucosamine is useful in relieving pain. Pain relief can take nearly 6 months.You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
