Canagirl,

I hope you can find relief before your appointment.

Have you tried massaging your neck and shoulders with either magnesium sulfate (Morton's Epsom lotion) or magnesium chloride (usually an oil base)?

I hope you can get help with a massage.

If there is neck level impingement, it may be made worse with muscle spasms.
It may be helpful to calm the spasms. WebMD had mentioned a muscle relaxant and heat, which often relaxes spasms. At the same time, heat applications can aggravate inflammation. Thus finding relief may be a bit of trial and error.

Some people use the essential oil of lavender (a few drops) in a carrier oil (jojoba, almond, others) for muscle relaxation, and mind calming effects.

I am still trying to think of a home-made remedy for you.
