I have a fusion in my neck at 2-3 and 6-7 and for about the last moth I have had a lot of pain in the right side of my neck and across the top of both of my shoulders.

Hello and welcome.

If the pain is around the level of your shoulders as described then this could be to do with C6-7 or even T1. And we could possibly have to blame the fusion of C6-7 for the current presentation. But if your pain radiates to the upper limbs then we should also rule out cervical spondylitis.

Best wishes.
