<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Godd morning. I have been having what can only be described as a twitch or tic in my neckthroat 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.  <response>: 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,
