Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Hi guys... I just had to share this, although it is just too simplistic! One of the symptoms that I still deal with is the tightness in neck and shoulder area...this can bring on a few other symptoms. One of the times that I really can be hit with this is when a low pressure front comes through. Like today! I happened to have an appointment with my GP, an Osteopath. I was complaining about it....the low pressure..etc... and showed him how tight the area was. He felt this this could easily happen with a low pressure front affecting some of the little joints in the neck...even more so with a chiarian. He suggested taking Advil!!! Duh!!!! I said that it didn't really " hurt " it was just stiff,etc. He said that it could become a cycle thing, where the pressure affected the fluid in the joints...this caused swelling...this resulted in stiffness,etc. Advil or aspirin would reduce the swelling. I really didn't totally buy it...but I took a couple of aspirin and it amazingly felt MUCH better. I was sort of amazed. Now, I hardly believe that this is a cure all for all the ACM problems, but I just thought that I would mention it... it was a pretty dramatic improvement...and something that I thought was just to simple to even try.
