On going pain after 1 year status post posterior cervical fusion at c5 and c6 levels. headaches, right arm tingling. no decompression was done prior to procedure. inflammation found at back of skull ?

Pain after PSIF neck: Not normal. Could be related to screw against nerve, pseudoarthrosis, incomplete decompression, nerve damage that didn't heal, missed or new problem. I would start with ct to see if bone healed and decompressed, and find out exactly where screws are. If negative, MRI to identify new or different problem. Get a diagnosis and it will help treatment.

Not enough info!: Make sure your fusion is healed, if yes, perhaps adjacent disc is degenerating/herniated. Need scan. Wonder why fusion was done without decompression?
