NEW REPLY (1 day later)—ive been following your advice now for 24hrs and WOW–im completely healed–in fact, i even played my softball game last night—i did not have to skip it!
i must admit, when i first followed your advice–it really hurt to stretch-but when i did it again and again, i felt the muscles relaxing and beginnning to lossen up.
i took pain pills for 5 days and nothing worked. Listen to her if you want to get better–leave the pills in the cabinet-
THANK U!

no matter how many stretches u make in the neck area u are not resolving ANY symptomatology if u dont check out all the movements of neck in all planes…In that case the McKenzie approach is far far better than any kind of “stretches”…..I am talking as a physical therapist,practicing this method without adding -many times painfull- stretches in the treatment regimen

This was definately …
This was definately better advice than what I got from the doctor. My symptoms are exactly as the host described. I will try these exercises as I’m into almost two weeks of this constant pain, how I got it I have no clue…right now I’m taking Naproxen and Soma, which doesn’t seem to work…so I’m definately gonnna see how I feel after this.
