Parbie, I am seven weeks post op. I had less numbness right away as well. I still get tingling but not as much. I still have tight muscles and do PT twice a week, pretty much just soft tissue massage. I have less pain, but a deep pulling feeling in neck. My PT says that the muscles are still real tight and will continue the massage for now. My doc stated no strength building at least for now. I can tell you that as the weeks go by, it seems like every week I get slightly better. I still have trouble using my left arm and will continue to take is slow. I think any improvement however slight is better than none at all.
