I am one year out (July 2012) after having a radical neck disection and a partial glausectomy. All of a sudden I have developed severe neck muscle spasms on the side where the disection took place. The PET Scan showed scar tissue, but cancer free!

The cramping is so bad, it can put you to your knees. I have been putting on heat and massaging the area following my neck muscle from my chin to the base of the neck.

I am scheduled for PT. Any idea of how long this goes on and any other suggestions?
