Hi, your pain sounds alot like, arthritis in the neck. You mentioned that you take relafen? for
arthritis or the fibro you have. I also tried the tramadol. Didn't notice any improvement in my pain. Have you had an MRI of your spine done?
Even my Xrays done first in the Dr. office showed the arthritis, bone spurs, problem areas of my neck. Nerve pain also is VERY different than any muscle, ache or strain, also it moves around. very unpredictable...Well God Bless You & give you the strength to cope w/your pain-problem.
