Hello,

Which neck surgery you undergone? I think you may be suffering from cervical spondylosis with compressive myelopathy or radiculopathy.

You have to check it out exact cause for it. Get it done MRI spine. Maintain good neck posture. Use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once daily for five days.

If symptoms not improved please consult your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
