So recently my thoracic spine is calming down and I've been sitting more.

But I've noticed even with a soft collar neck brace on sometimes the back of my neck around c5..c6?? area starts burning up and itching. Its tender to the touch in parts. The front of my neck is fine. I know my pt wants to blame it on foreward HP but I'm wearing a freaking collar. My cervical MRI is normal. Does this sound like its tos related...cranky nerves..muscles or what. I don't know how to calm it down other than lying down
