Debbie, would you mind telling me if the chiropractor has helped your neck problem. I have had neck problems for over 25 years, but since I am retired and not at a desk all day they are so much better. On Dec.5th I had a bad fall and was bruised a lot, but thankfully nothing broken. A month passed and I thought I would start some mild exercises. On the third day of exercising, a half hour a day, I started with severe neck pain. Went to the orthopedic doctor and he sent me to therapy. Along with the neck pain I have had severe headaches too and terrible neck spasms. Happy to report that the spasms are gone and most of the neck pain, but I still get headaches. I am taking an RX for that. The doctor thinks the neck problem started from the exercises. I disagree, and think that it stems from the fall. Already having had neck problems for years, I think the fall shookup the old neck injury. Sorry, I did not intend to go on so. Have a great day and have fun sewing.

Lucy, yes the chiropractor is definitely the way to go, for me. If it weren't for adjustments, I'd have a stiff neck all the time. Another thing that helps me is a round neck roll. I bought it about 30 yrs. ago, and it's about 3-4 inches in diameter, made of foam. I wish I could find another one. This one is just about worn out, but you could try a rolled up towel to put under your neck. When I get a migraine, I can't use a regular bed pillow, just this neck pillow. It takes a little getting used to, but well worth it, in my opinion. Also, I use the flattest bed pillow I can find -- right now I'm using an old one of my DH's, and I'm using the neck roll on top of it. When I don't do that, I can count on getting a headache. Sounds silly, but whatever works!
