I recently had a spinal fushion in my neck. had a titanium plate and screws put in. what damage from a 110, household electrical shock do?

Electrical shock: The shock from an electrical outlet will not effect you any differently with the plate in than it would have without the plate. Just be careful around electricity. Make sure you have rubber shoes on and use rubber gloves. Good luck.

None: I do not believe that a household electrical shock would damage your fusion.

I'm on Eliquis. I also have occipital neuralgia. During intercourse this week, I felt a shock up my neck as I was laying on my side. Would I aggravated the neuralgia? Because I am now having head aches & dizziness. Surely not bleed/Eliquis related?

I have occipital neuralgia & have recently begun Eliquis. After recent intercourse (laying on my side/neck) I've developed a bad neck ache/head ache. My hematologist says surely not a bleed/rupture caused by the Eliquis during intercourse. Thoughts??
