ugh... woke up with a crick in my neck that just gets worse. feels like a nerve going to my funny bone got involved. can't move my neck or much on my left side. thought my previous pains were bad, but Im not gonna lie. This time, i really want to die, it's so bad.
Physical Therapist only makes it worse. Helps when he puts my head into traction, but it comes back when he lets go.
I've NEVER cried in front of a 'stranger' ever in my life. Until Monday, curled up into a ball of sobbing fire.
TENS unit seems to help take the edge off, but not enough or constant. Started a muscle relaxer to see what happens. seems nothing is stopping the fire. OMG.

((Trudi)) I am so so sorry. I think with this much pain you should call or go in to see your dr. You want to be sure nothing else is going on. PT did a number on my neck.
I hope you are beginning to get some relief. I see it has been a couple of hours since you posted. I hope you have pain meds.
Hugs.

Off to the Dr.s Missy! You could have a number of things wrong and with A.S. it's always wise to have it looked at. Might be a degenerated disc pinching a nerve or some fusion that might have broke loose! Yikes, you sound like you are in terrible pain Trudi.

Sorry Trudi I don't have any advice. I hope the muscle relaxers do the trick. Hang in there.

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. Hopefully,you've gotten some relief from that terrible pain. A warm/hot shower on the neck won't cure it, but shouldn't make it worse either. It sounds like any relief would be helpful.

thx all. i got a muscle relaxer and it only takes the edge off to where i'm not sobbing my eyes out. nyquil helps to knock me out at night, but on the edge of taking too much. had a gall bladder attack today. yuk.
it's bad. can't tolerate the thought of sitting in er for hours to be seen or even talk to anyone. i hate dealing with doctors. omg it's bad. i have pt tomorrow. my daughter will drive me. maybe he'll suggest something. i can't sit, lay, hold my head in any position. crazy [*bleep*] going on. gotta go.
