Anyone have ideas for chronic neck pain relief?

Question

I have had this chronic neck pain for a few years now. I have gone to neurosurgeon, chiropractor, ct scans, mri's, amytriptoline, feldine, and still continute to suffer from it. It's all day everyday,but is present when I "move". It's located on the right back-side of my neck just at the top of the spine. They have found nothing in the x-rays or the scans. Chiropractics and the meds did help a little, but I didn't cure it. I am looking for all and any help possible. Thanx so much to anyone who answers!!!

Answer 1

I broke my neck in 98 & never showed up on x-rays for 18 months. I can relate to what Ur going through. Till you get to a health supply store to get a herbal tube U shaped sack that U microwave & place on your neck try this. Get a towel, get it damp & nuke it then place around your neck. Simple exercises like slowly moving head L - R & same thing up & down. Only move till before it hurts. If your Doc is not giving U pain meds, try a methadone clinic. What U can get on line will not be strong enough unless U get soma. Pain meds are not that strong. Tramadal is about the strongest you can get. Be careful about ordering from overseas. Ask Ur doc for trigger point shots, these work wonders for about 3-4 weeks. There is the kind you get while in front of an x-ray machine that go in your disc, these last for months, but they do hurt. As long as you have been in pain you should get into pain Mgt. That's where you get relief, get Ur doc to refer U to one. I hope I've helped you, I know what it's like.

Answer 2

I started going for massages and what a huge help. I had such discomfort in my neck area and there was no real explanation for it, I believe it was good ol' stress. The massage therapist said I was a big knot. Go for a massage if you haven't given it a try yet. Explain your situation and ask them to focus on the neck and upper back area. I really hope this gives you some relief. Good luck.

Try a massage, that will losen any nots that don't show up in all those test, you might also have a pinched nerve between these nots, and a chiro isn't going to be able to help. Also try rubbing its called freeze pain it comes in a bottle probably from a health food store, which helps ease the pain.

.You can use Tramadol, Fioricet, Ultram, Motrin or Ultracet. I also use Soma watson or carisoprodol as a muscle relaxer, Sleep aid. i buy these online without a prior prescription from PainMedsonline.Net, the order process could not be any easier, just select the medicines you need, fill in a medical questionnaire, and submit your order. U.S Licensed Physicians will review your order and issue your prescription. Next, a U.S. Licensed Pharmacies will dispense, and FedEx your order discreetly using Next day delivery. Good luck dear, I hope this answers your question.

I didn't see physical therapy on your list of treatments. PT allows for some mild exercises; massage; and my favorite TRACTION.... It has helped me with my neck problems on numerous occasions.
