I don't know if this is okay or not or if it needs to be posted somewhere else but....

I had a 3 level crv. fusion and have recently been experiencing chest pains. Fusion was done about 1 1/2 years ago. I went to the emergency room, had my heart tested and they say it is strong as a horse. The doctor told me the pain is a result of nerves in my neck and let my workers compensation doctor know. Workers compensation paid for the hospital stay and tests. My workers compensation doctor, after reading his report, said that is not possible that the chest pain would be from my back, not my neck. The pain has come back after 4 months.
Anyone here had these symptoms? Anyone have a suggestion on medication that may relieve this?

Chest pain can come from the neck., especially with a fusion from 5-6, 6-7 fusion.

Some people call it referred pain, nerve pain, traveling pain. It is also possible that it's a herniated disc.

Bio feed back might help the pain, physical therapy.

I've had those symptoms. was sent for an EKG and other test in February, came back normal.

The primary says it is from the cervical spine.

I had an ACDF of C5-6 on Valentine's Day.
