Default Stretch a stiff neck or not?

I printed out the 'pressure pointer' info--- really great! Thank you Jo*mar!

Feeling a bit better today and will do the TrPs many times a day.

Just wondering if it's good to stretch a stiff neck/trap muscle which is what started this whole thing in my case. It was my first symptom---just woke up with it one morning and it led (almost immediately) to all my other TOS issues.

I've not been stretching it because I'm scared that bending my neck will worsen the disk bulges etc. But perhaps that's an unfounded worry and stretching will help to alleviate the pain and eventually make it go away.

It's so annoying to have a 'settled in' stiff neck for several months.

I'm seeing the doctor who diagnosed my TOS in about a week and will ask him....but just thought I'd see what the concensus is here in the meantime.
