What Causes Pain From The Shoulder To Head After Spinal Fusion?
Yes please I had a spinal fusion in my neck in which they took down from my shoulder and braced in the back of my neck. This was in 2012 and I am now having nerve pain that shoots from my shoulders to the top of my head. Recently I was told that I pulled my sciatic and muscle in my leg I am in physical therapy for my neck which consists of massages and very little exercise. This is chronic pain and I am worried that I have damaged my nerves. Any advice I do not have email

Hi,
According to my knowledge, this severe pain shooting from shoulder to neck may be due to any nerve impingement in the spine or any disc bulge in the spine.
You need to check your blood pressure levels, because raised blood pressure levels may case sometimes back pain and neck pain. Consult your primary physician if pain persists and do EKG once.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
