I had surgery on my neck on Oct. 1st... it went well... the post-op didn't go too good... I had issues and problems with the pain meds and side effects from the anesthesia, (was severely depressed)... but I'm all better now... (debatable, I know). I am now tho, PAIN free for like the first time in 5 years, although truly in like 27 years with phantom pains, they're almost non-existant, post-surgery... Whereas they had been really, really bad in the preceding couple of years prior to the surgery... almost gone now! (isn't it funny how pain is spoken of as almost an entity)

I have a 3.25" titanium plate in my neck now (insurance said the retractable claws was considered "Elective" and wouldn't pony-up the $$$). The Doc says I can go 4wheelin when I feel like it... !!!

Wow, that pain lived with you awhile! A woman I work with had to have a plate placed in her neck as well. Sadly, the doc did something wrong and after some time a couple of the screws he used started backing out and rubbing on living tissue, causing new pains. A few months ago she had to go back to get things redone by a different doc. 1st doc is being sued now I think. Hope everything continues to go well for you!

It's amazing how much a nagging pain dictates how you percieve the world around you. I'm glad your feeling better.
Peace.
