I have pains in y neck and back.?

Question

I have pains in y neck and back. I dont want to see a doctor or massage therapist without first trying to relieve them myself. Any ideas on how?

Answer 1

I have the same problems, but then I get to see all the nice doctors and massage therapists, chiropractors, accupunturist, etc. But for self-treatment, try alternating hot and cold packs. First with the heat for ten to fifteen minutes, and then cold for no more than twenty minutes. I have also found that some topical pain relief creams work well sometimes. I like Theragesic best, and it's not smelly like Ben Gay. But sometimes the smelly stuff works pretty good. Other creams like Mineral Ice and Aspercream are okay. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Well I'm certainly no doctor but I since was diagnosed with a problem with my C-7 vertebrae in my neck I have intermittently suffered from neck pain, tingling or shooting pain down my left arm, headaches and the "piano wire" tightness on both sides of my neck. I am 35 and your symptoms seems much like mine and I too work on a computer all day. Although many people have preconceived notions about chiropractors I see one about once/week and it has greatly relieved the frequency and intensity of this tension. It's amazing how one slight kink between two vertebrae can pinch nerves and sent shooting pains all over the place. He has also taught me home exercises and since I am a stomach sleeper to not sleep with a pillow all of which has brought relief. It might be that your problem is larger than mine but my suggestion would be to at least give a local chiro an opportunity to take a look before you go through a bunch of expensive test and/or surgeries if you really don't need them. In any event I wish you the best of luck and hope you feel better soon. Cheers.
