I slipped two discs in my neck about three years ago. Since then the pain has become increasingly worse. For the first couple of years the migraines were two to three times weekly with severe back and shoulder pain. Four months ago I awakened in the morning to find that I couldn't move my head or left arm. The muscle in my left shoulder has been in massive spasm ever since and the pain is intolerable. I am seeing a couple of doctors and am taking high doses of pain meds and muscle relaxers but have found my way to Reiki and Accupunture as well and a Spine Center that does exceptional work with excercise and stretching programs. It seems that meditation and relaxation works even better than the medicine does. I've filled my home with beautiful fountains, new age and nature music, motivational posters and am blessed with the support of a loving man for the first time in a very abusive life. It would seem to me that attitude makes all the difference. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?? I'm also seeing a chiropractor as well... I did try facet block injections but they failed. Ty for any advice you may have.
