Hi Wanda, so sorry u r having issues post op.....u r only a few weeks post op....
It is possible for the muscles to get tight post op as u heal, so it is very important to move/exercise ur neck to help prevent scar tissue from forming and the muscles getting tight....
The spasms are not uncommon, again u healing and u will feel these odd sensations....the fact u have to lay down to calm it down, is a bit dis-concerning....refresh my memory were u DX with EDS?.....I am wondering if u might have cerivocranial instability which can worsen after decompression. And makes sense with the way u describe it...
It's always a good idea to let your Dr know what's going on just incase you need to be seen. Better to be on the safe side with neuro. I sent you a pm. Hope you fell better soon :-) Lisa
No I was not dx with EDS. I just hope there is nothing wrong. I know he found a bunch of blood vessels that were all tangled and he cleaned them out but I dont know where those were. and dont know if that would cause this kind of burning and stabbing pain.

Nerves can cause symptoms like that, if that is what it is from, I have no idea either.....have u been weening off ur pain meds? Could be u feel that as a result of stepping off of them.....
Do contact ur Dr and let us know what u find out.
