Therapy usually helps Also use heat and ice. My pain is burning pain which I did not have with the last few bouts of pain down my arms. I don't have severe stenosis but it probably is on its way since I have moderate areas of stenosis. I sure wish I knew why life has to be so rough for some of as we age. I had no clue till hit my 50's that my lower back is in such a mess. Now I am dealing with other painful issues on top of the neck. Try and stay healthy. I know it is hard as right now I am pretty much unmotivated to do anything. Depression sure can take hold. Hope in time some of the pain eases up. I know how hard it can be.
Wow, sorry to hear. I am surprised as I always felt better after my chiropractor adjusted me. I have experienced the usual muscle soreness intermittently after an adjustment and on very rare occasion, a very temporary increase in pain but on balance, I have always felt very comfortable letting my chiropractor work on my neck and back, even after my C5-6 fusion and failed shoulder surgery when a surgeon caused permanent nerve damage to my shoulder, forcing disability! At least a chiropractor didn't ruin my life for me (but the surgeon did)...
