Hi has anyone suffered with a trapped nerve in the neck a long with shoulder pain?
Answer:
MENARINI POWER GEL, a relatively new rub which is anti-inflammatory, it definitely reduces the pain, but we had ours on prescription but do not know if you can buy it over the counter.
hope this helps
Been suffering for NINE YEARS NOW - so FOUR WEEKS and you ain't got a lot to complain about really.
Recovery time takes as long as it takes I'm afraid - Painkillers, Anti Inflamatory tablets - and yo might end up needing muscle relaxants as well - Amytriptilin
Are you trying to sell me something?
when I had a trapped nerve i was told to stretch, i used to put my arms around my own shoulder( crossed over) as if cuddling your self and then stretch. it helped, even now if I feel my neck/ shoulder muscles which also include my back, tense up I do this. it relieves the tension.
Hi, its hell aint it! i have got it now, No pain in the neck but really nasty electric like pain going down my arm(left) i had injury to spine years ago and are on the strongest pain killers out! Even with these its still bad, Strange though it can disappear in seconds once the nerve is released, keep your fingers crossed!!
Hello,
Yes I suffered with the same some years ago. I found that if I could get a good nights sleep it helped and added recovery. How can you get a good nights sleep I hear asking, when I am in pain all the time? Take your pillow twist it in the middle so it looks like a butterfly, when you lay down place the back of your head in the twist so that you have like a wing on each side of your head. It takes a few nights to get used to it if you are not used to sleeping on your back. But it worked for me
It is highly probable this condition can be relieved and/or aleviated with acupuncture and Chinese therapeutic massage (tui na). I would suggest consulting an acupuncturist, particularly one certified in both acupuncture and Chinese herbology. Acupuncture is the most effective modality for treating pain and related conditions.You can find a certified acupuncturist in your local area by going to the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) website - http://www.nccaom.org/find.htm
Go to the bottom of the page to locate practitioners.
Try buying a tens machine It works wonders with mine. Anti inflammitories can cause stomach problems and I find that for me a tens machine is the most effective treatment, it can be taken anywhere and used while you are working.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING PAIN ALSO IN SHOULDER WITH TINGLING DOWN ARM AND INTO FINGERS AND I HAVE BEEN SEEING CHIROPRACTOR AND THAT HAS HELPED SOME ALONG WITH WHATEVER YOU TAKING FOR PAIN
I have suffered from this problem a few times, and found the most effective treatment for me was anti-inflammatory med's, as well as a good stretch in the swim baths, or jacuzzi. When I am in the swim pool, I just relax, I don't swim, and I have some one rub my shoulders and neck and do stretches. Something about the water really helps. I hope you feel better x
Had it for over 11 years now. Not something I would wish on my worse enemy. I have a TENS machine on indefinite loan from my hospital. It kinda numbs it slightly, take tablets prescribed by pain management Doctor. But the condition is likely to last for a number of years. You just got to get in with it, and not let it get you down. Keep doing your normal everyday things and don't let it beat you. x
