neck/back surgery

First let me point out that mine wasn't the result of normal use, wear and tair, I flipped over a hand rail and landed on my head. Reptured ( squished ) discs.
I had 2 discs removed and the 3 bones fused together in my neck along with other work in upper and lower back. I cant turn my head far enough to sleep on my stomach. I sleep flat on my back and alter my pillow arangemnt about once per hour. Looking behind me when backing out the drive isn't easy as it once was. Imediately after the surgery the pain was gone but my right arm was still messed up and my left arm was turned completely off, like I had had a stroke. Nerve damage first from the injury and more during surgery. 8 months of physical theropy get them back in use but still weak and not well controlled above my head today. Something like putting up a cieling fan is nearly impossible for me to do. The harder I try the more I generate.
Others have had much better results from the same repair proceedure. Good luck with yours.
