Of my C5-C6 done in August 2021. Advice is be patient in recovery. Especially first week or so. It’s a gradual improvement of strength and feeling normal. Don’t lift more than a few pounds but make sure you move around and walk. I was in a lot of pain with a ruptured disk prior to the surgery. Not sure what issues you have but you might feel a lot of nerve reawakening. Doesn’t hurt but just twitching out of nowhere. Make sure you do your PT stretches and exercises at home.
