Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

as per the history you mentioned about , it looks like there is a nerve getting trap in its course. You need to first look for taking rest. Use some hot water fermentation for the back and neck as you previously had surgeries for the same region. Later on you need to go back to exercises which you might have done post your surgery. If not then take a help of a qualified physical therapist and he will guide you further how and what to perform. I hope you should respond well and the symptoms should subside soon.
