woke up OW my neck

Not to worry. It felt a heck of a lot better after the fusions than it did before. They use a bone graft and a small compression plate screwed into the vertebral body that really locks things down. I asked about issues such as working out and my neurosurgeon told me that there were professional football (American) players who had gone back to playing after such surgery. I replied that I had never been very good at football, but if he thought it was important, I would see what I could do about trying out for one of the teams.
I thought they were called oops.
Hey Don, I hope all the info is helping, sometimes rest and time work wonders...............
I have an adult student who just had this surgery in September. He just returned to training February 1. He has a grip strength issue from his injury but it is mild. We have just begun to start his break fall training again.
The source of his injury? He slept on it wrong.
Big Don ... all disagreements you and I have ever had aside ... please go see a neurosurgeon for at least an evaluation. Pronto.

Still stiff but, not as painful, I would have said I was feeling better, but, Shesulsa's post scared me
Don, I'm sorry. I do not wish to scare you. But he is the second person I've known to have this surgery as a result of waking up from a poorly-positioned rest period.
I'm sure it's likely there is more than one causation all adding up to an ultimate event.
Check your pillow and sleeping posture and do get evaluated. You need to know anything that goes wrong with your neck.
No. 'Oops' is the technical term used when the joint gives way. 'Ouch' is the one we regularly use for the atemi.I thought they were called oops.
I have to imagine that that's pretty rare for someone with normal muscle condition etc.
Yes, I think the logical notion would be a chronic posture issue (especially the sleeping position) and/or a series of smaller and cumulative events.
