Yeah, those neck muscle spasms are quite painful as I also know all too well. Yoga and stretching in a steam room helped me.
Mine were exacerbated by having another round of radiation after the neck dissection which caused even more scarring and fibrosis. It's been three years and the pain has subsided to just an ache with only occasional flashbacks to the sharp old pain. Tincture of Time is the only thing that has really worked for me. Eventually it gets better.
