Re: Neck Pain

[Guest guest]

I too have neck pain, but mine is due to 3 torn disks in my neck C3-C4-

C5 and i will never be able to have surgery.

I too also have a large chest, just recently after fighting my

insurance for 8yrs i am finally approved to have a breast reduction.

Start documenting your neck pain and mention it to your Dr. so he/she

can also put this in your records, you may just be able to get a

breast reduction. In my case it will never make my pain go away, but

it will help relieve it a bit.

Hi Breanna,

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Okay, this thing is called a

Posture Pump. Its too bad that you can just " try one out " to see if it works for

you. I'm not sure if the company does this or not, but they seem to be around

$150.00, which is expensive for something you don't know works.

They have them on Ebay for cheaper. I really like mine and do it about 3-5

times a week, depending on how sore my neck is (more sore=not so much). Anyway,

you can at least read about it to see if its something you might want to try.

I had 7 pounds taken off my chest (and they are still D's) so I can definately

relate to wanting them suspended in air. LOL! I had to wait 10 years for my

insurance to approve mine, had to develop cysts in my shoulders,disc

protrusions, and nueropathy before they would approve mine. If they had approved

it 10 years pryor I probably wouldn't have had any of these problems and they

wouldn't have had to pay all those bills. But I guess they don't think about

preventative medical practice, which in all reality is driving up our insurance

premiums. Frustrating.

If you could find a Dr. (I know, I don't like Dr. either very much) that could

say IF you don't get a breast reduction, these are the things that are going to

happen and these are the things that are happening now. I actually had to

suggest to my orthopedic surgeon that my large breast were the reason for my

shoulder cyst, as he was " stumped " . DUH!!! I'd like anyone to try carrying two 5

pound bags of sugar(or even one) on their chest for 20 years and see if it

doesn't start doing major damage to the body. I also wrote my insurance company

a letter about all the ways my large breast hurt or interferred with my life.

Good luck Breanna!

Hi Caitlin,

I have neck pain also; my neck gets sore, I have spasms in my neck,

my neck burns, I have tingling; In addition to other symptoms.

Anyway I would be interested in info. regarding neck pump.

I've been doing cervical injections (3visits); I don't think it will

work(the injections); I think the pain doc. is going to talk about

surgery, maybe the neck pump can be an option I could try, I really

don't want surgery.

Thanks if you can do this.

LaDonna,
