neck pain and chiropractors

[Guest guest]

,

Actually, I have seen a chiropractor in the past. It was last year, for

something else. When he would adjust my neck, it always hurt so he quit. But I

really liked him and he did help my lower back some.

My mother in law swears by her chiropractor. I do believe they can help people.

Even a friend of mine called Tuesday and told me I should go.

I did decide to go back to my regular doctor though instead and I'm glad I did.

Thank you for taking time to write me about it. Have a great day!

My rheumy won't give me pain meds either. It's so frustrating! I have been

dealing with neck pain for 3 weeks now. Rheumy said it was RA and go to physical

therapy. Been to 5 sessions of PT and my darn neck is still hurting. Hurts so

bad some days it gives me the worst headache!

I got mad today, went to my regular doc. They took x-rays, just RA, BUT, they

also said that I am having muscle cramps or the muscles are seizing up from the

RA pain. So I got a Toradol shot and a prescription for muscle relaxers.

Hopefully, this will help.

I just don't understand the issues with pain meds. I do and I don't at the

same time.
