wholefoodnut's Journal, 10 July 2018

I am so bad today as the neck pain doesn't want to go away: I bought some beer on the way home from work to try to relax some muscles, nothing I have was working. So blowing my plan and it may be that way until I get the cervical injection next week. It is a decision --not to worry, so OK> Sometimes pain rules. Self medicating with beer. It's an overtime week so hard for me to get to the gym but I'm also afraid working out will make my neck worse at this point; Quandary here.

Spent a nice time catting with a neighbor after work and now to get a few tings done and some dinner. Stuffed zucci is the plan but it's 7 pm so probably something quicker.

Ugh so sorry! I had "acute cervical strain" after a multiple-car accident 25 years ago. When that neck pain kicks in it is so hard to deal with!

Thanks Jen.... support here means a lot to me. I wouldn't be where I am today without it. So sorry you had to go through that, I have a friend who is due to an accident. Trying everything I can not to have another surgery-- a totally fused neck is not a good option--my amazing primary doc agrees.

Is the pain in the back of your neck? I bought a pillow on Amazon called a "dog bone" pillow and put it just under my neck and between my main pillow and it really helps. I just can't sleep on my back for long and that's the only way it works. Hope you feel better!

So sorry that you are going through so much pain. Hope it eases up and goes away soon.

Don't worry about working out - taking care of your neck is far more important. Hope the injection will help.

Doobrie, nothing but stretching until I talk to the doc on wed. I used to do spinal nerve monitoring during surgeries and diagnosis and worked for A chiropractor for several years. With a previous 3 vertebrae cervical fusion I am so aware of being careful.. he will be able to see the blown discs as he uses a fluoroscopy wheedling the injection. 2 discs above the fusion and 1 below.
