@lolaemma Everyone is different in what their spine issues and symptoms are so don't think that yours are not valid. Some patients don't have pain, and their doctors have to convince them that they are at risk of paralysis and surgery is indicated. A physical therapist might be able to help with the neck spasms. They tend to keep happening (at least mine did) and my PT keep working to keep me stable before my spine surgery. The spasms resolved after surgery. My PT also did myofascial release and used a Dolphin neurostimulator on the nerve roots to block pain signals. We are here to help and you're welcome.
