sometimes alternating them works for me...
if not, then I haul myself to the chiro.
if *that* doesn't fix things, then... to a GP.
keep pushing until you get some answers...
pain is a signal something's wrong, and stiff-upper-lipping it isn't healthy for your soul, dear.

Both are now giving me a headache..... dang......
I'll get out the heating pad and see if that helps. This really sucks. Today's just plain ole bad! I'm not used to having pain like this anymore. I lived with this level of pain daily for 7 years after my accident. It borders on 6-7 on a scale of 1-10.

Ok. I take it I'm not overreacting to this. Thanks 5kiz.
I have a mild generalized disc bulge at C2-3 & C3-4, a diffuse generalized disc bulge with a broad protrusion and some mild central canal stenosis, and disc bulge at C5-6 (with small protrusion) and C6-7. From C7-T1 there's no problem. At T7-8 and T8-9 I have a minor disc bulge too. There's degenerative disc disease involved in there too. But normally, no back pain! It's usually all muscle spasm pain if I get back pain.
