You may not be able to help me but I thought it might be worth asking. I'm having surgery for an unusual problem: my head dislocates off my neck. This is happening because I injured my neck years ago AND I have severe rheumatoid arthritis. The combination of the two has resulted in a very unstable head-neck relationship. They call the neck a "swan neck." What are my chances for a good recovery from this type of surgery? 4 days 17 hours ago 4
Our five-year-old grandson had a major fall onto the back of his head and now they are saying he needs surgery to correct a swan neck deformity. The only thing I can find on the internet about this problem seems to deal with the hands not the head. Can you help me understand what's going on here? 4 days 17 hours ago 4
I have neck pain and discomfort from a pinched nerve at the C56 and C67 levels. I seem to be able to manage this with positioning, posture, and some stretching exercises. Now I'm starting to have hand and finger numbness and tingling. The doctor isn't sure if this is coming from the neck or the wrist. Could the original compressive nerve damage in the neck lead to this kind of carpal tunnel syndrome? 1 week 2 days ago 4
My cousin had a neck fusion last year that cost about $20,000. He can't move or turn her neck but he says at least he doesn't hurt anymore. That seems like a lot of money to me. You could buy a boatload of painkillers for that and go on vacation. I didn't say that to him but I wonder what you think. 5 weeks 2 days ago 60
Can you explain the idea of cost for quality of life after surgery? When I balked at paying $15,000 for a neck fusion, the surgeon told me I would gain up to $100,000 in quality of life afterwards. How does that work? Where does the money come from? 5 weeks 2 days ago 42
