New to this site. Found it while researching post TLIF insomnia. Had ACDF in Feb and TLIF 2.5 weeks ago. These are post motor vehicle accident 6mo ago with little relief following chiropractic treatment PT massage therapy injections etc. What is really getting to me right now is that I have not slept and it's driving me crazy. I don't know what else to do. I can manage pain as well as most. But it becomes a steeper uphill battle with lack of sleep any sleeping tips post surgery would be great. I was never a back sleeper before. Now I have to lay like I'm in a coffin. Help me

My health has been extremely amazing to me the last 2 years. Found out I have Sjogrens Syndrome in 2020, kidney stones 20-21, transitional lumbarsaccral vertebrae, herniated disc, pinched nerve, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease all in 21... ACDF surgery on C5-C6 end February of this year. Going for my 10 week check-up next week. I still have all the pain, numbness, tingling and so on just not as bad. Sometimes I have something in my neck get stuck and it pops sends like an electric shock thru my body and hurts for about 5-10 mins. Any ideas of what could be going on would be great?! Have alot of questions to ask my Spine Doc and Rheumatologist now, cuz I want to get back to work ASAP...but my body comes firs with all my illnesses.
