Get a sports or remedial massage immediately, and be amazed and pleased with the benefit.
Then have them every 2 or 3 weeks for a while. Then regularly afterwards.
The muscles are so often overlooked in the pain analysis, yet they are a major contributor.
Been there, done that. Some scarily bad pain episodes from muscle spasms.

Yep, I do go for massages every 4 weeks, and alternate with reflexology every 4 weeks, so basically every 2 weeks I have something. By alternating them I can make my benefits last a bit longer since one is consider holistic and one is massage therapy. It does help, you're right the muscle spasms are huge and hurt as bad as nerve pain. Muscle relaxers help a little bit, but I can only take them at night or I'm groggy all day.
How long ago did you have your surgery, and how are you now? Did you have a full recovery?
