@rdflash0788 I'm sorry to hear you have some struggles and lost your privacy. I understand helping family and that is important, but it also creates new stressors. What happens with surgery is you have scar tissue that gets tight and that can be at the source of the spasms. I recommend myofascial release to a lot of members here, and it may be worth a try for you. I do this a lot myself, and in addition to my being a spine patient, I also have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. That makes my neck and chest tight and it does affect breathing making that difficult when spasms are yanking up on my upper ribs. My introduction to MFR work was to treat TOS. That can be more common in spine patients if the condition was caused by an injury. This is a way to stretch the tight fascia and the scar tissue within the fascia. It can release the tight surgical scar tissue. Here is our discussion where you can learn more, and there is a provider search at http://mfrtherapists.com/.
