[|Human|] Godd morning.  I have been having what can only be described as a twitch or tic in my neck/throat are on the right side.  It has been happening for a couple weeks.  It is painful to the touch.  I have had multiple neck surgeries, 2 in the area of this twitch.  Both were ACDF (anterior cervical disc fusions).  Since the last one, I have had some surface numbness.
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve or nerve damage due to the surgeries. So, there is nothing to worry about. But, if this problem disturbs you, I would recommend starting clonazepam, up to 2 mg daily. You should start at a low dose 0.25 mg twice and increase slowly, in order to avoid possible adverse effects like Chat Doctor.  Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
