try a chiropractor -- and if you, your insurance, doctor, whatever, are stubbornly opposed to the amazing benefits they can provide - at least ask your doctor for a brief physical therapy treatment -- it's obvious something happened in surgery/treatment - and it's really amazing how easy it is for something to pinch in the neck and cause so many problems -- it's even more amazing how many doctors never think to mention that to patients nor even suggest it to them!! -- during delivery of my first baby, I pinched a nerve in my neck, making my whole left arm go numb and useless -- my doctor did nothing!! Sent me home with a new baby and use of only one arm!! -- Two visits to a chiropractor and it was all better!! "do the math" and best wishes!
