Thanks...no, no swelling, I have tried heat, but probably haven't left it on long enough at one time for it to work. Some days it's more noticable that others, or like when I bend over or to the left I can feel even more pressure on it, kinda like when you're on a roller coaster and the wind is blowing your face back?? IDK if that makes any sense...but you are probably right, I shouldn't let it consume my life. I do that way too much with everything. But thanks for your comment, it made me feel better! Take care!!
