Suggest Remedy For Pain In Elbow After Neck Fusion Surgery
having pain in left elbow . had neck fusion surgery in October and pain went away. 1 month later it came back. surgery was from a deteriorated disc in neck, numbing left arm and hand. I think it is related to the pinching of the nerve before surgery. what can I do
Hi Welcome to healthcaremagic I have gone through your query and understand your concern.You have pain free period after operation so it is unlikely to be due to pinched nerve before operation. It is likely to be due to compression of nerve after operation. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen.It may be due to other causes unrelated to neck such as tennis elbow. 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. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
