Recovery Series: Recovery Process for Cervical Disc Replacement

[@kiki611978]

Thank you for the information you provided. My doctor recommended the same yes and no movements for physical therapy at home. I had cervical disc replacement 2/22/24

[@DoWork316]

This was very helpful. Thank you

Can you train Bjj after disc replacement surgery?

[@markd7762]

Is it common to have foot numbness too? I have the hand numbness on both sides and a hard time writing but also a hard time with finer motor skills with my legs.

What would you say about the recovery for ACDF at 4 levels- a relatively healthy 57 year old, good bmi. When would I be able to do general activities of daily living? Tasks at home? The reason I ask is that my insurance only offers limited home care, I live alone and have no family in the U.S. If I stay in rehab or an assisted facility, I could lose my disability benefits. I am worried.

ACDF (anterior cervical disc fusion) surgery is a different surgical procedure than this surgeon 's topic of discussion.

Doctor where are you located in the us. How can contact you

[@aprilflontek]

So a year for recovery ?

can i flex or extend my neck after the surgery? i just had a cervical disc replacement 3 days ago

[@BS-qr5es]

Everything he said is complete opposite of what my surgeon said, I had 13 weeks in hard collar!

[@Rollwithit699]

For disk fusion or disc replacement with artificial disk?

[@DogHonest]

Unless you had a fusion that sounds insane.

It’s November 15 November 10 I had surgery disc replacement and I still feel nerve pain going down my shoulder and arm does that mean the surgery failed and I’m going to be in pain anyway after all of this?

How long before return to work typically?

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

That depends on what your job is and level of recovery.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Funny that you talk about irritation. It feels like the growing pains from childhood. It’s logical when you think about it but it is that kind of pain.
