Thanks everyone...means a lot to me.flowerforyou

Cindy, I bought this "bean bag" for lack of a better term that you put in the microwave for 90 seconds and can wrap around the neck. It works pretty good.

Robin, mine are at C3-4, C4-5, C5-6, C6-7, C7-T1 and T2-3, so I have the headaches and the numbness too. Pain management doc wants me to try darvocet and topomax and see what that does before I get the epidurals.
Be careful of some of those pain meds like darvocet. You don't want to go down that road were then your on the stronger ones and they don't even help anymore. My husband Went there was hard living through.

Keeping you in my prayers for some relief...flowerforyou

Hiya Cheryl, Meg, Carole and Carol.....

Doctor told me he was taking me off the percocets because they are addictive but darvocets aren't and I don't like taking something unless I am in SEVERE pain.

Thanks for everything. flowers flowers

Darvocets aren't? I would look it up, thought there is codine in them. I almost cut my finger once. That percocet made me depressed. I took the Darvocets did like it better.
