Sorry to hear that. I too have cervical spine issues. Have Multi-Level Degenerative Disc Disease and Spinal Stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal). Beginning Jan. of last year I was having horrible headaches and severe muscle tension in my traps. After 3 months of PT and an epidural, not to mention just about every painkiller available, I had surgery to remove the disc between C5 and C6 and remove the bone spurs narrowing the spinal canal. That was at the end of July. It's been a long road to getting back to normal, but I can say the surgery wasn't as bad as I thought and now that the structural is fixed, the muscles are getting better. Massage therapy as often as I can helps A LOT. I have to say that I am MUCH better now than I was before the surgery. Good luck man, I wish the best for you. It's no fun, but it can get better. Pain meds only work for so long and then they start to become part of the issue. Good luck and hope PT will help. If you have any questions or need advice you can PM me and I'll be happy to relay my experiences.
