| Will I have pain after surgery? |
 |
 |
 |
| Immediately, yes. Your neck and throat will be sore if you have anterior surgery. The muscles of your neck will give you pain if you have posterior surgery. We, now, have disposable subcutaneous pain pumps that will make postoperative pain much less. And once the operative pain wears off which can be one to two weeks, then most people have very little pain. |
