Had Spinal Fusion Surgery
 
I had cervical fusion in Sep,2013 at the c5&c6 and c6&c7 levels. I was left with some weakness in my right arm...

What should i do now?

Tell your surgeon. It's probably somewhat normal soon after surgery and maybe up until the inflammation around the nerves has settled down but you have not stated when your surgery was so yet even so if 4-6 weeks out you might still have some weakness I'd imagine.

You definitely need to communicate your concerns with your surgeon however and have him or her tell you the timeline for certain things to go away or feel better or whether new imaging needs to be done to see if things are not going as planned but I think it's more likely you're still in healing stages.

I find it strange in your other posts and inquiries you didn't mention the surgery as it sounds like your complaints/problems were more involved than just concern about problems with not sleeping enough or your sleeping surface.

I also find it strange that an upcoming surgery was never mentioned in your previous vague posts. I also had surgery in SEpt on the 9th and am still dealing with a lot of issues from that surgery.
I just spoke with my surgeon yesterday afternoon about a concern that is the best thing to do
