Thank you so much. My surgeon is not answering my questions or communicating with me. I’m having to learn everything online. He ordered physical therapy for me at 4 weeks post op but wants me to stay in the hard collar for 6 weeks so the physical therapist is very limited in what we can do until the collar comes off. It’s been very frustrating and scary. I had a 2 level ACDF and I’m 5 weeks post op today. I still have a lot of neck pain and have no idea if this is normal or not. Your video was very helpful to me. Thank you so much
