Is it something like stiff neck? If that's the case, apply ice pack (and some Ibuprofen, even if it's not due to muscle stiffness, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen works for the pain; and yeah, it's usually available over the counter). And yeah, have it checked by the doctor.

I've gotten it checked out before, and it is apparently due to narrow spaces between cervical disks. It's compressing the nerve, hence the pain in the neck/shoulder/arm.

Ibuprofen might be able to relieve pain, but it's definitely not a substitute for other treatments as it only provides temporary relief.

I wish you the best with that.

Thanks.

This might sound "out there", but humor me for a moment, have you tried resting or hanging upside-down or at least reclined at that angle for short increments of time? My father would do that from time to time to help relieve the pressure he felt on his discs. You might be able to tolerate it a bit better than him due to your younger age.

DS, shou bek? You really need to eat more ice cream.

Now that's some random, meaningless advice.

I know right. I am studying nursing for 3 years now and we do have pharmacology. I just suggested that because I thought the pain was just due to muscle pain. And I did say that you should have it checked. Aigoo.

No, I haven't tried that (mainly because this is the first time someone tells me about it). I might try it, though it sounds like it exerts at least a bit of pressure on the neck.

I like this advice. You should become a doctor.

I see. Well, advice can't hurt either way, so thanks.

Look up inversion therapy or inversion tables. You have constant pressure on your discs because gravity is constantly pulling down your vertebrae down on top of each other. The theory is that by inverting yourself from time to time that the way your vertebrae are pulling down on each other is relieved and, thus, the pressure on your discs is relieved as well. My dad said it did appear to help for a while. He even has an inversion table and would use it regularly. I don't know if he still uses it all that much though. I don't know as he ages and his other pains how well he tolerates being inverted anymore.

I'm back at school on Friday!!

My finger tips just stopped their pins and needles throbbing. I was even wearing gloves and they were still so cold from outside that warming up made them throb.

If they were really good pain meds you should be saying..."Ooohhh, knee? What knee? I have a knee? Oh look, there's a knee! Hee hee!"
