The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Me personally, I use lots of rest like lying down. When I do lie down, and I have the muscle spasms in my neck and back, they disappear instantly.
I use my TENS unit as well when I must be active but my body wont tolerate me being active. That does interupt the pain signals to the brain but you must get it from a chiropractor.
I do use Ibuprofin, up to three with food. Although I am not a frequent pill popper.
I did and will out of desperation use Capsaicin, which eliminates pain in 30 seconds or less at the site of the pain.
However, I have developed skin hyper sensitivity to it. I have used Biofreeze as well, although it is short lasting for me.
Hope this helps d
