Ah, thank you for the YouTube foam roll demo. I did not get the correction position from the stick diagram at all. I thought the little stick figure was on a bench and I could not see the foam roll. This clears it up and now I think I want to try that half-roll that is shown.

I also wrote down the suggestion regarding the steroids. I see my neurologist tomorrow and I think she will definitely like that idea as she has used it twice in the past for me to break a cycle of month-long headaches (and it worked). I am also going to have my husband try the shoulder press tonight. I do notice when I am laying on my back that it is hard for me to get my shoulders to go back. It is like they permanently curl upward. When I force them down a little, I can feel the nerve pain run right down the arm. I am writing down all the advice I have received right now and plan to track how I react to each item.

You are so right when you say this is draining.
