Neck and two arms pain numless fingers

Answer 1

Start with placing a moist heating pad on your neck and shoulders for twenty minutes several times a day. Follow this with an analgesic cream. This is going to help loosen the muscles.

I have Fibromyalgia and what I find helps me the most is deep tissue massage therapy. Nothing else eliminates the pain as quickly and thoroughly. Physical therapy is not the same as massage therapy. I really recommend you try this.

Doctors are now using Lyrica for Fibromyalgia and many people are getting relief. You may want to talk with your medical doctor about this treatment. I have heard nothing but good about it.

Nutrition is very important with this condition as with any serious physical condition. Avoid caffeine products, sugar, processed foods and fried foods. Low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia) is often a factor in causing the person with Fibromyalgia to feel fatigued. That is why a good nutrition program is very important, eating frequent small meals with some protein is very important in keeping the blood levels even. The object of this is to prevent blood sugar starvation by keeping a certain amount of usable sugars constantly going into the bloodstream. Only the proteins needed by the body at the time of digestion are utilized as proteins-the rest are changed into sugar and burned as energy food, increasing blood sugar level.

Whole grains, seeds, nuts, yogurt, chicken, Turkey, organic beef, eggs, natural cheese and cottage cheese should form the base of your diet. Accompanied by Appropriate vegetables and a minimum amount of fruit.

A good quality multi-vitamin is absolutely essential with this condition. It's important to replace what the body loses daily. If a person takes no other supplement but a multi-vitamin they're helping to support their body daily. Co Q10 In soft gel form increases energy quickly. Take three capsules a day.

Physical therapy that is performed at home is very important for Fibromyalgia. Warm water stretches performed at least three times weekly can be of tremendous help keeping the joints and muscles flexible. A Jacuzzi or hot tub is without a doubt one of the best treatments you can do at home, not only does it improve circulation you can also perform warm water stretches in it. If you have access to one and can use this daily you would see a tremendous change in the body.

I also find that chiropractic care can bring tremendous relief. I always recommend people with Fibromyalgia seek out a Chiropractor who uses the activator method for physical therapy and pain relief. If you would like to find out about a doctor of chiropractic in your area who uses this method go to http://www.activator.com

Take a proactive role in learning about fibromyalgia to help control it, and be vigilant about following your treatment plan. Emotional support is very important too. Living with fibromyalgia may be difficult if your family, friends or employer do not understand the condition. Seek out supportive family, friends, clergy, support groups or a mental health counselor.

Answer 2

A temporary thing to try would be flexeryl (cyclobenzaprine).
There are treatments besides pysiotherapy that don't work either. Nerve blocks (don't work), steroid/lidocaine injections (helps a little temporarily but too many adverse side effects), e-stem/tens units (don't work well at all).

After I endured all of these "treatments" and some surgeries for my fibromyalgia, I finally found a doc who was persistant enough to figure some things out.
I'll spare you the long and very agonizing story and cut to the chase.

I started a few years ago with Botox injections. Every three to four months I would go in and receive about 65 to 70 injections in and around my neck. It sounds rough but it's nothing compared to living with fibromyalgia. Actually, when the cold needle sinks in (1" to 2.25" deep), my muscles tended to relax and I would feel instant relief in that spot.
It's about $3,000 a set for the proceedure (done in docs office) but I'm fortunate enough to have insur. pay 100%.

Anyway, the botox starts working after a few days, the relief is fantastic. It's not a cure mind you, but any relief is better than none.
I'm currently taking a year off from the shots because I became 'immune'. My body got used to the shots and they didn't give much relief the last two times, so I've been off of them for about a year.

In this time I'm supposed to be having accupunture. Many people say that this helps also.

So, you have some choices but finding a doctor that will persist until some relief is found will be your biggest hurddle.

I feel your pain and genuinely hope this helps. Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 4

Although JW's are one of the nicest, sincerest folks, that does not cause them to correct in the whole lot. They have falsely prophesied the tip of the sector countless occasions, which simply approach they've mis-interpreted scripture. They're nonetheless well folks. They themselves have mentioned that they aren't a prophet of God, so in the event that they get whatever mistaken, they are attempting to be taught from it as the sunshine will get brighter. So preserve in brain the truth that a few of their different teachings perhaps mistaken too. I am assembly with one now - she simply dropped off the state-of-the-art newsletter. I had such a lot of questions that I feel she gave up on me, however now she's determined to preserve coming. One educating I am significantly wondering is that Jesus has already again. You see, they prophesied countless occasions that Jesus was once coming, and while He did not go back visibly, they determined that their evaluation of the bible was once right, so He ought to have again invisibly in 1914. But the Bible says "Every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him". I've been asking them "Well, what eyes have noticeable him come again" considering the fact that if he fairly again in 1914, would it were documented that a few frame's eyes noticed him go back? The bible says: John 17:three Now that is everlasting lifestyles: that they will recognize you, the one real God, and Jesus Christ, whom you've despatched. I obtained to fairly recognize Jesus by way of simply studying the New Testament with none research courses or courses. The bible is dwelling and robust. Just by way of studying the gospels, I got here to like Jesus and I fairly consider that I recognize Him and the Father in a private means. Just by way of studying approximately Him I grew to become born once more by way of the Holy Spirit. You can too! But they're telling folks that they are not able to be born once more. But if you do not grow to be born once more you're going to on no account be a New Creation at the within! When fitting born once more you obtain the Nature of Jehovah for your center like a seed, and as you feed spiritually, you develop in grace, in love, in endurance, and undergo fruit of the Spirit. Nobody can undergo the fruit of the Spirit, if they do not have the Holy Spirit within their hearts. So this can be a truly sticking factor with me. Romans eight:nine says: You, nonetheless, are managed no longer by way of the sinful nature however by way of the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anybody does no longer have the Spirit of Christ, he does no longer belong to Christ. So take into account, they've admitted they're mistaken on many instances. They admitted to NOT being a prophet. So they might undoubtedly be mistaken approximately their born once more doctrine and any doctrine. Depend completely on Jehovah, and research to exhibit your self permitted, by way of evaluating translations. Theirs has been modified in delicate and no longer - so - delicate methods on many doctrinal problems. Jesus was once known as My Lord and My God by way of Thomas. Jesus was once worshiped in Rev five. Read it and come to a decision if it sound like obeisance or truly worship. If that is no longer worship then what's? Even their founders worshiped Jesus and they did not give up till 1958! I'll be praying for you.
