I had major cervical spine surgery several years ago. I was in a neck brace for about 6 weeks. After that I had therapy for about a month to get my shoulders and neck used to activity again. I would follow doctors orders to the letter on this type of surgery. Nerves to both arms are in the area and bending or straining the neck area may cause nerve damage.
How long ago did she have surgery?
