I get a regular neck cramp, sometimes several a day but at least 5 or more a week. I also get a tingling that runs down one or both of my arms. Physical Therapy helped my range of motion and strength but hasn't ended these cramps. They are painful and normally only stop when I lay down and take all pressure off my neck. They sometimes come in the front of my neck but also in the back. I have had both sides of my neck dissected and radiation to both sides. I have a massage or two a month to help which does help. I am thinking of starting Yoga to see if that helps.

If anyone has any idea of how to stop these cramps I am all ears.
