What Is Causing A Twitch In My Neck?
Godd morning. I have been having what can only be described as a twitch or tic in my neck/throat are on the right side. It has been happening for a couple weeks. It is painful to the touch. I have had multiple neck surgeries, 2 in the area of this twitch. Both were ACDF (anterior cervical disc fusions). Since the last one, I have had some surface numbness.

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve or nerve damage due to the surgeries.
So, there is nothing to worry about.
But, if this problem disturbs you, I would recommend starting clonazepam, up to 2mg daily. You should start at a low dose 0.25mg twice and increase slowly, in order to avoid possible adverse effects like drowsiness.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
