Severe Burning Should Pain From Neck Surgery

Updated

I had neck surgery in 2016 and immediately after surgery I developed a severe burning pain in my left should and down the upper part of my arm. Had xrays, CT's, shows a little arthritis, but this was from surgery. Can't find a doctor that can tell me what is wrong and what to do. I have been living with this pain almost 3 years and can hardly lift arm. Don't know what else to do.

It sounds like you might have nerve damage from the surgery, or from the problem that made the surgery necessary, unfortunately, that is a risk with almost all surgeries.

You can learn more about it on the NCBI website.

Have you consulted a neurologist, yet? They are usually the best person to consult in such cases.

Thank you. Yes I have consulted with neurologist they have no idea what is wrong. Also an orthopedic doctor. I do have a little arthritis but this happened right after surgery As soon as I came out of recovery. I really think it's nerve damage but who will omit to that. I just would like them to give me an answer to get some relief from 24/7 pain.
