neck in severe spasm for 8 months

my neck has been in severe spasm for the last 8 months ..no doc can seem to figure our why? I have alot of issues at the time this started ..such as being diagnosed with babesia parasite disease, levaquinn poison drug, and disc herniation c5c6 is significant c3c4 and c6c7 mild......But I have NO pain going down arm..i also have a modest chiari malformation..but I was told have plenty of room in my brain..it is not putting pressure on cervical spine....YET I AM IN SEVERE NECK SPASM..NOTHING has worked med wise pt wise...NOTHING!!!!  MY QUESTION...Does the pain have to go down arm w/ disc disease? Another doc thinks maybe I sprained my neck and can do prolotherapy to ligaments? And one surg said he can do the fusion..but nobody knows for sure???Do any of U have the spasms going up as I do from the bottom of neck/shoulders to brain stem w/ spasm pressure around ears nose eyes etc..w/ aloth pf pressure or spasm in back of my head........PLEASE HELP I DO NOT WANT SURG IF IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK...I don't know anyone in my situation w/ pain not going down arm???? Oh and another doc ...thinks my neck maybe unstable ...muscles have taken over,...but NO anwers..no real horrible discs??HELP PLEASE

have you tried going to a chiropractor? I started going and feel better after 3 weeks of headaches and neck spasms. I don't know if this will help, but you ask about a nerve block or something. I'll pray for you.
