What’s the best way to get rid of a painful crick in the neck that won’t let you move from the shoulder up?

Q: I have tried heat compresses, icy hot rubs, electric massage, and crying but still no relief from this terrible stiffness and pain. I hurt from my left shoulder up into my head just behind my right ear and it is causing me a headache too. Someone please have the magic I need to get rid of this pain!

A: I had the same problem, you have to go to the doctor and get muscle relaxers and celebrex for the pain. It worked for me, not right away, it took a couple of days.

What is the best way to get rid of a tension headache?

Q: I keep getting tension headaches that stem from my neck. Either side of my neck will hurt and then cause a headache up the back of my head to the front of my eye. I have been getting them almost once a week. I am not sure if I should go to the doctor or just find some sort of muscle relaxer??? I do take spasm meds for my neck already at night since I have a lot of strain already with a few neck issues from a car accident. The tension headaches and pain are getting worse and more frequent so I wasnt sure what to do. Any ideas?

A: I strongly suggest going to your Doctor again, you may need further investigation.When you say spasm meds, most hypnotics (Sleep / some muscle relaxants) can cause headache as you have described. It may simply be a case of changing medication.Have you addressed any posture issues?Large numbers of people commonly sit “hunched” at computers during both work and leisure time, this can put strain on the base of your neck.Have they recently come on, or since you had the car crash. Has the car crash, combined with poor typing posture caused this problem

I don’t want you to critize me,but to read and understand! If feel that you can relate or have a comment.Plez.

Q: Do you ever have this feeling that you’re missing something?Well I do. That’s why I get out of bed. That’s why I try toat least make a effort to do something. I feel empty inside.And I think that’s why I eat so much. But not anymore! I’m tiredof eating,tired of doing this stupid thing called LIFE! I wonderdo others feel the same as me and do they have daily problemslike me? I know that I’m not alone. But the way people make mefeel it seems like it. I ask myself.. Am I crazy? the amswer isno! I say maybe I should exercise and eat right. Maybe even go on a diet. No! That doesn’t help. If I lose weight,I will still feel empty,lonely,dumb,fat,and a nobody! I say the reason I feelthat I am depressed,have headaches all the time,eat too much,Is because people think that I am stupid. When I express my feelings,others look at me like I’m stupid,like I’m talking out the side of my neck. I don’t want people to think that I am talking nonsense all the time!! But I need help and want help! I want to be happyfor one whole day! If not just one day,at least an hour or 2. I don’t want to inflict pain on myself. That will only make mattersworse! I don’t understand life. Not life in general.. My life!!!Why is it that I can smile and laugh and feel so bad inside? I want to know why I feel so empty inside. Thats what causes me to eat. That empty feeling inside. If I could get rid of that feeling,get help with this depression,and some other things. I WOULD BEOKAY!!! One thing that bothers me is that people look at me as a black person! I am not black. I am not a crayon nor marker! Whyam I called black. Why are other races called white,brown,and otherthings? But that’s not the main thing. I am scared that I will get worse and have nobody around and be all alone. I don’t want to be that way! I just want to know why am I here? I have nothing to livefor! I have a routine life! Nothing different. The samething everyday. I want to have fun and feel comfortable in my own skin! I want to be able to go to bed and not have to have all those thoughts rambling in my head. I want to be somebody! How come I see other peopleand see that they’re happy and smiling.?? I want to be the same way.No matter if people ignore me,think I’m stupid or what.. I thinkthere’s something wrong with me! I don’t want to live if I have to feel this way much longer.!!!!!!!!!! I just want to be normal. If not for forever,maybe just a day or two. Or a hour! Something! I am just tired of feeling this way! I want to find someone who willknow what my problem is before I end my life! Maybe I feel this waybecause I am such a mean,ruthless,and stupid person? I try my best to be nice and act right! But it’s so hard! With the environment, Ican’t do it! I wonder do animals ever feel the same way as me? WhatI can’t understand is that kids at school will actually listen to me bitch about my boring lame life! Why don’t my family listen tome and take the same concern as my friends? I think I do try too much!To get people to like me,to act like everything is okay,and to just beaccepted! When I was 5. I said that I wanted to get married and have10 kids. But now that’s all changed! I don’t think I’ll live to getmarried or to have kids. But my thoughts on kids and men have changed.I don’t like men nor women. I don’t want kids either! I used to thinkmaybe I’m an alien. Because I don’t like men nor women. I don’t even want a boyfriend. All 15 year old should want a boyfriend and feel comfortable going outside. I don’t like the outdoors. I prefer to stayin a dark place. Hidden from the others! It has gotten so bad that I am afraid of the light. I go in my closet and close the door to change my clothes. Nobody be in the room but me but I feel that someone is watchingme. When I use the bathroom or bathe I have to have the light off. Butsometimes I do get scared of the darkness. But I am more afraid of light than anything. I don’t feel that I can tell anyone this. They would thinkI’m off my rocker. But I just want to know if there’s anyone else out therelike me? I’m tired of this. I do feel that I am going to give up. Verysoon!!!!

A: there is a lot going on with you and you need help sorting it all out. i think you care too much about others think. who cares of they think you are stupid or black or whatever. what matters is you and how you take care of yourself. you’re so worried about others and the environment and animals. worry about you. take care of you. look in the mirror and know that you are unique and beautiful human being. everyone has problems, everyone has pain. it’s how you deal with it all that counts. not everyone is going to understand you and what you go through. find the select few that do and be as good a friend to others as you want them to be to you. don’t be so hard on yourself and learn to take life 5 minutes at a time. life is hard but you are not alone. god bless you.
