You know, I am sitting here barely able to stand the pain in my neck and I am almost in tears. I really am having a hard time today. I wish the pain would subside quickly. I can barely turn my neck to the right and it feels like someone is squeezing and twisting the inside of my neck so hard, I just want to take the pressure off. I am writing this because at least it takes my mind off the pain a little bit. I know you guys truly understand. I'm not sure how long the pain will last. It is from stress and worry. Thanks for listening and I will talk to you a little bit later.

I sure hope that you get some relief for the neck pain real soon. I use something called joint gell that I get from my chiropractor, it does help to calm the stiffness and pain down a bit.

I hope you are feeling some kind of relief since you posted this, Taralynn. I'm so sorry that you are suffering with this. For what it's worth, I agree with the heat idea, there are some products that are you can microwave and put around your neck. They are like bean-filled sacs and some are even scented. But if you can't get your hands on one of these, a heating pad may help too.

I'm sorry, no GREAT ideas, just more of the same of what I've used in the past.

Please let us know how you're doing...

Love and gentle hugs....

    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...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
