Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
had your accident in anyway affected your fusion at c5c6? Was any investigation like xray done at the time of accident to see the condition of your cervical spine? If that was not done and now you still are suffering from pain and spasms I would like to advise xray of the cervical spine anteroposterior and lateral views. I would also like to advise mri of cervical spine with screening of whole spine if possible. you need to consult your operating surgeon with both reports and he can guide you better. Present condition of your spine can be assessed with both above investgations and prognosis will be given only after seeing reports. Hope this is useful. Thanks.
