Hi Di....I would say it is a flared nerve. I can feel stress and triggers along the base of my neck. I am taking a list of nerve meds with me on Thursday to see if my doc will try something new. I am hoping he will. I have found over the last few months that I am progressively getting worse and need some sort of relief. I get new pains all the time and usually find my answers, or better yet, that I am not a looney tune when I read the posts here.

PS...Been doing the extra advil the last few days and it seems as though it is settling down a bit...thanks for that!

Talk soon,
RAch
