Why The Sensation Of Sun Burn Has Started Recently?

Hi, my name is Sebastian, aged 53. On 12 April, I had a C5-C7 ACDF coupled with removal of bone spurs. Op was a success, and post Op, All the numbing/tingling sensations as well as shoulder pain disappeared. The aching and pain and lately the sensation is like sun-burn started, especially after I sat in front of my pc for a while. I understand there would be some pains/aches for a period of time while the fusion is taking place. However, I am surprised with the sensation of sun-burn that started recently. Looking forward to your comments/advice. I am taking lyrica (25mg) and neurogen once a day. Thank you

Hi Sebastian!
Its a bad luck truly to have repeat symptoms..it maybe necessary to have another evaluation just in case other cervical areas are developing disc/spurs pathology amounting to symptoms, this is possible once spondylitis is affecting cervical spine..it has been commonly observed to happen..but nothing to worry, physical therapy and protective measures may suffice at this stage..please go in for check up..
Best wishes
