Default Post Crainiotomy/Muscles Atrophied in Neck

I had a crainiotomy on Dec. 1. They wanted to do a bypass but couldn't due to a really torn artery. A clip was the result. I now am having severe neck and head muscle atrophy. You can feel all the bones of my skull on the left side of my head and neck. I have had acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, cortisone shots in my neck and head and nothing relieves the pain. I also have wierd little jolts across the back of my incision area. Nerve damage i think. No doctor can seem to help me. Also my right leg has just started doing a peg leg type thing. It clomps periodically. I am 7 months post surgery. Any thoughts, ideas or help. I am 51, love to golf and play tennis, but as it is, that won't happen anytime in the near future. Thank you.
