Could the muscles have been pulled too tight in my face and neck as I have had pain and pulling for 18 months?

Fiona12
I also have pixie ears as result of the surgery. I feel as if the muscles under the skin have been pulled too tightly and that my pain is from that. My neurologist diagnosed it as distonia in my neck due to the spasms caused by the surgery. He said I could try a muscle relaxant. Is that the only solution as I felt out of it after taking it two days? Do muscles relax? Can too tight surgery involving muscles be reversed?
