Try putting a lot of salt into a frying pan and making sure it gets hot and then wrap it in a cloth napkin and tying it around the top with a rubber band. -- It helps my for when my muscles hurt.

Get someone to massage Icy Hot into your skin. It can help.

Besides massage, there are exercises for the neck.

Trying to roll your head in all directions will help to alleviate some of the pain.

I have a microwaveable neck wrap that helps too. One minute in the microwave provides like 20 minutes of warm, therapeutic, cozy neck-hugging.

NEVER GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR....They worsened my condition, but my massage therapist is GREAT!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
