                        Hi Jenny,  Did you have the titanium plate put in c4-c5? Mine was c4-c6.  The pain never stopped, 18 months later it was so severe I was on 5 morphine and several other drugs thru pain mangement.  The Dr. couldn't understand why, the MRI looked good.  He did a discigram and a CT and found the c7-c8 was broken.  After the 2nd surgery, I can now move my head left and right but not up and down yet.  It's only been 3 months and I'm in P.T.  The doc removed the old plate and put in a new one. Let me hear from you.  I have questions like: does your plate get too cold if you eat ice cream???  Connie
