Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your husband's symptoms. Based on the information, it appears to me that the spinal surgery has not helped him, contrary to his doctors' opinion.
In any case, second surgery is not an option.
He would benefit from taking neuropathic pain medications such as pregabalin, gabapentin or duloxetine capsules.
In addiiton, physiotherapy with IFT, ultrasound and neck extension exercises would help.
In some cases, epidural injections could also help.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
