Sorry for not being around lately.....I don't know what I've done but I've pulled the muscles in my neck so badly that I can't move my head....heck, even moving my eyes hurts!

If I'd had a way to get there last night, I would have gone to the ER (and I HATE that)

I'm not at all sure about what dose China got this morning....took everything I have to get up and shoot in the first place

I haven't done anything I can think of to hurt myself....am beginning to wonder if the stress of all that's going on with DM has just caught up with me.

Going to a D.O. in the morning and hoping they can help....not all DO's do adjustments anymore.

Hope you're all having a better week and that your kitties are feeling great!
 
I'm sorry. I hope your neck gets better soon and the DO helps. I hope China keeps surfing safely for you. Sending prayers.
 
Chris, so very sorry about the pain you are having. For whatever it's worth, if you are under stress and clenching your teeth and or grinding at night when you are sleeping, TMJ pain will cause jaw pain, neck pain, headaches, and or shoulder pain. If that is what it is, ibuprophen, 600 - 800 mgs every 6 to 8 hours will help. Also, a MOIST heating pad placed on the neck. But make sure it is moist heat. Very important. You can make a moist heat pad by microwaving a wet wash cloth or hand towel placed into a zip lock bag and making it as hot as you can stand it with out it burning your skin. Place a dry towel between you and the ziplock bag.

TMJ pain is very painful. Keep doing the heat on heat off every 20 minutes and take the ibuproehen around the clock according to how many milligrams you take. Rule of thumb, 200 mg take every 2 hours, 4 mg. every 4 hours, 6 mg. every 6 hours and so on. I hope this helps.

I clench too when under stress and get neck and shoulder pain.
