I been there
I had muscle spasms all threw my upper body because of #1 ANXIETY #2 Neck injury and #3 My Jaw....I take valium at night now and have not had a muscle spasm since.(Unless I do something like drink caffeine or eat something with artificial coloring)Valium is a Benzo/Muscle relaxer. Before the valium the PCP had me on EVERY muscle relaxer....nothing worked! I also have bulging in neck of C1-C5 that my physiatrist gave me a cortisone shot.
Cymbalta was not good for me.So I take Pristiq 100mg and this helps with anxiety as well....sometimes we (ourselves)cannot rule out pain and pain from anxiety because they both are not good. This makes it hard to know besides MRI if it is physical or psychological or with PCS can very well be the both mixed together. By the two mixed together you have to approach both aspects.
I do hope you find some relief with this pain soon
