How to treat pain and spasm?
Patient: Hello , I Had c5 & c6 antr. fussion in 09. I had mild to moderite & disc's with moderit  DDD . I also Was in a 60 mph crash 3 months after surgery.  I Have for 3 years now pain , spasms . I know I will need surgary again . How bad can my cond. have gotten in 3 years ??? Doctor: 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.
