How long does it take for rods to fuse with your neck bone c6 an c7. i broke my neck a year ago. how long will it take for me to be out of pain fully?

Ortho: They are fused by now. If you are still having pain especially if you have any neurologic symptoms such as weakness or numbness you should contact your surgeon and discuss these symptoms with him/her. Good luck.

Neck pain: Difficult to say. Make sure your surgeon knows about the pain you are having. Patients still on Percocet need to have a frank discussion about the results of the surgery, or the need for further procedures. One year out, the surgery should be healed and if pain persists, a reevaluation should be undertaken.
