Does anyone on this forum have severe neck pain or ever feel like it is so stiff that it feels like someone is twisting your neck?
EEK! Thanks! |

| Yes, sometimes so bad I can't move my neck at all. I have muscle spasms in my shoulders and butt as well (sacroiliac dysfunction). Things that help, in order: 1. A muscle relaxant. I use Flexeril. Hate it since it turns me into a zombie, but it works. 2. Heat. I use an inexpensive electric heating pad. 3. Massage, preferably by someone else. I can sometimes get away with just heat and massage for the shoulder and butt spasms, but I've found I need the muscle relaxant for the neck spasms. Hope that helps. |

| Usually when things are super tense at work. A good hour long massage usually takes care of it. Sometimes I need to go back within a week to get the rest of the knots out and the second round takes care of it. Relax, listen to soothing music, take a hot bath with a warm cup of tea, and get a good night's sleep afterward. |
