My wife is 60 years old, she has had three major surgerys on her c-spine, she has a plate between c 4-7. She is experiencing pain throughout the neck, shoulder and arms and her overall condition is worsening. We are looking for a neurosurgeon to do tests and a prognosis. Her has tried pain management to no avail. Can u help or give a recommendation? Thanks
