My friend said to keep going to the ER they'll get tired of seeing and do something. I have been taking 20mg flexril and those did'nt help and I tried a 5mg Valium, that didnt help. I tried a 10mg vicodin and that did'nt help. I went to phys therapy but my gp said it was making my neck worse. That spine doc wants to do shots but thats 2 weeks away and depends on if my insurance picks back up before then. I'm just stuck with it I guess

Thanks for the reply ((Thunderbear)). I won't recommend any stretching exercises since you have structural problems. Do you have a specialist taking care of you? Will the shots be a cortisone shot or something else? I hope you'll get the shots no matter what. I had cortisone shots because I have a 'frozen shoulder' problem - it helped alot.
Also be aware of your body position, when you're on the computer. If I'm not careful my shoulder get worse if I don't pay attention to how I'm sitting. I'm sorry you're in such pain.
