Or maybe you just need a few sessions of some therapy modalities like ultrasound or low level laser...
but "intense sharp pain " has me wondering it it is a muscle or not...

I went to see my neurosurgeon today, called and described the pain, he sent me for xrays. unfortunately by the time I got to the hospital and xrays, he was called into emergency surgery, but his surgical nurse looked over my xrays and examined me. She thinks that everything still seems to be in the proper place on my xrays, although there is no fusion or bone growth at all yet. But she said she will have the dr. review them after to make sure everything is ok. In her opinion I slept wrong and wants me to check my pillows and posture to make sure that I am sleeping at a 'neutral neck' position. perhaps I pinched something sleeping wrong.
They told me if the pain gets worse to come back into the hospital tomorrow to see the dr., othewise I have a followup appt. next tuesday.
(I'm not allowed to have PT yet, I'm still only 7 weeks post op.)
