Any one have neck pain?

Post by amber78945102 »

I have severe neck pain to the point I have to lay down to take the pressure off of my neck. I know that I have to to lesions on my cervical. I was just wondering if anyone else has this issue and if so what they do to relieve there pain.

I have numerous bouts with severe neck & back pain including intense spasms. I have multiple cervical spine lesions. In the beginning I would use Aleve & a heating pad but it would take days for relief. At one point I ended up in ER as it moved to my shoulders & I thought I might be having a heart attack. After hearing that I didn't have heart trouble I finally gave in & called for a prescription. I now take cyclobenzaprine when needed & it was a life saver for me.

i used to, for years. went to physio and they did some work to improve the flexibility of my mid-spine. huge difference. the physio also trained me on some exercises to improve the strength of my neck muscles. i also was advised to adjust the driver's seat of my car to be as upright as possible, and how to hold my head when seated. i had two long drives recently, which in the past would have killed me. last week, i only started to get a twinge at the end of the second day of driving. no issues since. physio strongly recommended!!
