@falconsky Welcome to Connect. What I learned going through a C5/C6 cervical fusion is that surgical scar tissue tightens up a lot as the body heals. That puts a lot of pressure on your tissues and can generate a lot of pain or muscle spasms. My physical therapist did myofascial release on me to release this tension. if you look at this post in this discussion, there is a link to information.
