Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | Happens to me too but with no particular regularity. I have Valium and codiene for it but haven't taken the codiene yet. Sometimes it'll "pingpong" from one side of my neck to the other. Hurts like heck to have it massaged and my wife is a certifed massage therapist. My RO warned me of the same thing as Brian - even before radiation. Sometimes it feels just like a charlie horse.
