Neck Pain Sufferers Any Help

[slinsane]

So my neck has been killing me the last few weeks. Lots of muscular pain. Had an xray and definitely some area between c6 and c7 but don't really want to do an MRI. Im not going to have surgery as there are no neurological symptoms just pain and headache at times. I can still twist my neck but is tight.

Lots of muscular pain on the sides of the neck and and some pain at the atlas muscles. What has everyone used to help with this shit, driving me crazy

easy first thing is a neck pillow, I love mine had the same one over 15 years.. they are contoured so your head drops into the middle and the neck stays straight, huge help with neck pain

Heat, i use a hot tub but the bath tubs good too

rub on some icy hot stuff, or better yet the stuff you see Grim speak of, its called Voltaren Gel and is a topical non steroidal anti inflammatory

Find a good o. I'd have had surgery years ago without one a lot of them are quacks. If you can get a chiropractic adjustment, a massage a day physical therapy.

Ill say just roll your towel and place it under your neck while you sleeping. Don't shake or string your neck it'll only worsen it up. What you got is called cervical pain and its has two types. Doctors usually tell to place your head a bit back and recommend a neck collar but if you getting stiff neck by doing the placing your neck back you gotta your neck completely opposite.
What you can do to have a massage with hands from. Down to up. Make sure for the moment.
Mr. B is right Voltaren - Diclofenic will help, but only for some time.

I I'll recommend a 3 step massage. Oil, Vix Vapprub and Voltaren. Heat up any oil and get massage from down to up motion along along with Vix and Diclofenic gel. This way it'll not tear up the skin. Use a heat pad after the massage. Vix Vaporub and Diclofenic gel is a great combo to relaxing the muscle.
Do yourself a favor and rest. Moving your neck in appropriate positions will only worsen the cervical.

I have bad neck pain. The semispinalis capitis (small muscles below the skull) hurt like hell. Chiropractor says that I'm very tonic and that it is playing against me. My traps are like a block. Heat helps. I place a hot bottle in my neck. The relief doesn't last though.

Update -- I saw the chiropractor again yesterday and he says that the neck pain is triggered by shoulder issues. I felt fine right after the session yesterday but I'm in pain again and next session is on Jan 6th. I don't know what to do.

No not yet. I wish I could find a good acupuncturist. I worked for one but he retired years ago.

You can find voltaren on ebay, however, some ppl that are in the know says this will be otc very shortly. the patent ends next year so it will be generic and shortly after otc.

on ebay you can find the 12 hour which works much better as it is twice as strong. the nice thing with this stuff is very little goes systemic compared to oral nsaids.

I have Voltaren but it's an anti-inflammatory and I avoid them.

the purpose of viltaton from what i was told is to bypass issues with antiinflamatory. Anti inflamatory isnt bad, its even in your diet and is vital to good health
