Answer:
If you had the discs removed in your cervical spine (neck), it could EASILY be caused by swelling, even if the surgeon took a posteriolateral approach. Scar tissue could be another culprit. If your surgeon did an anterior or anteriolateral approach, I would talk with your physician and see if they can do a CT or MRI of your neck (I am assuming you have some kind of hardware in your neck, so you'll probably have the MRI). During the surgery, there could have been slight damage to your nasopharynx or esopagus.Now, if you had the disc repair in your lower or middle back, I would chalk it up to anxiety.I hope this helps some...best of luck!

It could be a damaged or pinched nerve sending you false signals, or it could be an actual swelling. Definitely get it checked out, if not by your surgeon then by your regular doctor.
