Yes being super sore after that surgery is normal. This goes on for some time, but should lessen day by day. Get an elevated pillow in foam, going from flat to about 5 inches. Won't hurt to lay down. I also slept in my colar the first few nights. Spasms do happen, across shoulder blades too. Ask you doctor for Soma compound in addition to your pain medication and that should help. Sleep as much as you all can. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I had C6-7 then 6 years later C3-7. I am two years post and doing pretty good. I hope you all get this good kind of result. ginnie
