Hi ,

Well first I eat a lot of pain pills and muscle relaxers lol

Nothing worse than a charlie horse in your neck. can't stand on it to

make it go away.

The first thing I do when I get up is get all the vertebrae moving

the best I can. They seem to lock up at night. As do the

shoulders,elbows and wrists. I do gentle stretching. I call it rice

crispies hehe snap crackle and pop if you know what I mean.

I never sit on a hard surface! If the chair is to hard I sit on a

cushion.

I move constantly , I can't stay in one spot very long. And am

very careful about what I'm doing. If I stay on the computer too long

it lets me know. Some days faster than others.

I use theragestic a smelly ointment with asprin in it. Ice if

heat doesn't work.

I go to a ciropractor. Massage helps but can't afford it.

And when all else fails I go for a nerve block.

I hope this helps hugs Jo
