Any stiff necks out there?
Hello Friends~
I am 5 days post op and feeling great, except this stiff neck. I called the surgeon and he said it's from the "un natural" way they have you on the operating room table. They must just let your neck "hang" while they are doing surgery... so it's like dead weight. And they do tilt your body quite a few times, to a more vertical position, so then the other 215 pounds of my body just yanked down on my neck for a few hours.
I went to the chiropractor this morning and it helped. I am icing it, but it keeps stiffening up.
How are my other August 31 sisters doing?

The first week the worst part of my pain was the neck pain. Thankfully it's all better now. I had actually forgotten about how much it hurt before until you mentioned it. It does get better. I can't remember when it stopped hurting but, like I said, it's completely gone now. I didn't ask my surgeon, it's nice to have an explanation as to that neck pain. It really hurt.
