I too had severe pain in my neck, shoulders and back after the surgery. It was much worse than the pain from the surgery. I was also very surprised at this. I have had neck and back issues for years and during the pre op, the nurses were informed and tried to help eleviate issues, but it really didn't help much. It took me about a week for this to calm down. What really helped me was going to a sports medicine chiropractor who did tissue massage. It was like a turning point for me. If you know of someone who can do this for you, I highly recommend it.
Good luck.
