what you have is a called a chronic condition. A good way to know what is going on in your neck is to have X-Rays and a MRI taken. A physical therapist is the professional you want to go see. Have the X-Ray and MRI ready when you go. A previous visit to the doctor to get a referral for these diagnostic test may be required. Your condition may not be cureable but, it is deffinitely alterable to some degree. A therspist may be able to your on pain management or give you exercises to control the pain

Wow. I have Sciatica, which is where there is a piched nerve in the spine, and I know a little about that type of pain. First course of action is to go to an orthopedic doctor. The chiropracter may be able to help, but chances are physical therapy will help more.
Do daily stretches. If you are already very active, you may want to talk to the doctor about pain management services. I have known people who have had such severe sciatica, that they have had to go for regular epidural injections as part of their pain management, and have even needed to have surgery (spine fusion) in order to manage this condition). I would say if you have not tried any medical course of action, other than taking you regular anti inflamatories (such as advil or motrin), the first place to start is with an orthopedist.
Another thing to consider, how firm is your matress? Take some money and invest in a nice firm matress. It will help you with your back in the long run.

Cold turkey is a not-so-good idea. The withdrwals are horrific. The symptoms are exactly as you described and then some. There is also a pyschological withdrawal process. When most people stop for different reasons they will still go through it. As Wendy has a wonderful answer. Please go and talk with your doctor. I went through detox,lasted about 2 weeks in the hospital and about3weeks at home, mostly on the couch. You have most of the symptoms down pact, It is dangerous to do it on your own. If you need to go to the er again, tell them what you NEED HELP with. I sincerely am sorry for your situation and pray that you get the help.

Have you tried the Cortizone shots? I got a pinched nerve and had to have 3 cortizone shots over the course of 3 months and I haven't had a problem since. It was due to scar tissue squeezing the nerve, so if your problem is a bone, I suggest going to a recovery chiropractor who specializes in nerve damage.

It is a fact that no one condition reflects sciatica and it would be prudent to refer to it as a generic medical term encompassing lots of symptoms that taken together describe a lower back pain that a patient suffers from. When someone complains of severe back pain that passes down to legs through his buttocks, even down to his feet and toes, doctors suspect him to be suffering from sciatica. Often sciatica presents itself as numbness or a tingling sensation that may not be anything like the severe pain commonly associated with sciatica. This tingling or numbness may be felt by the person when he engages in some activities.
On this site you can find very good tips on how to treat your sciatica: http://curesciatica.toptips.org
Hope it helps.

Ginger cloves are exceptionally good for any kind of pain and it also soothes the stomach. Pour one cup of hot water into a cup and cut, grate or slice gingerclove into water.. Steep for 3 minutes and drink it as hot as possible Eating the ginger is optional because it is hot- but its very beneficial for all. Drink this tonic every morning and evening. You can add one tablespoon honey to it as well. Honey helps you to relax which helps pain to be moderate. Heat and/or ice packs are also good for pain..
