Our water has been turned off so the plumbing crew can do some work. That's all well and good, but I am having bad neck pain (every so often, it happens to me, I've got cervical degeneration back there). I really want to apply some Voltaren to it, but with the menthol in Voltaren, that stuff has a strong smell, you really want to wash your hands after applying it. It figures, my neck hadn't given me any problems for awhile, but why did it have to at up right now?! I took a muscle relaxer (prescribed prn by the rheumatologist), but it didn't seem to help. I'm not sure whether to put heat or ice on it. I'll have to google that.
Edit: Looks like heat...I was hoping for ice as it's pretty warm in the house right now.
