Sore back and neck (read on)

Question

I've been waking up every day with a sore neck and back. Is there any way I can help this without medication?

Answer 1

YES TAKE MOTRIN BEFORE BEDTIME TAKE TWO OF THE 2OOMG THAT EQUAL 400MG THAT IS WHAT THE DOCTOR WOULD ORDER FOR YOU. THEN MAKE SURE YOU USE A HEATING PAD FOR 20 MIN. THREE TIMES A DAY. ALSO USE A MORE COMFORTABLE PILLOW AND POSITION IT UNDER YOUR NECK IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION MAKING SURE IT SUPPORTS YOUR NECK. HOPE THIS HELPS IF IT DOES NOT GET BETTER IN THE NEXT 3 DAYS. CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AN ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR.  

Answer 2

Yes!

- have a massage

- see a chiropractor

- See a doctor to conduct some tests (to see if it's not soft tissue, i.e. nervous tissue, joint irritation, etc.)

- try a new pillow

- warm bath before bed with 3 cups epsom salts

- heating pack on the areas of soreness

- stretch before bed and when you get up

- try a yoga class

- try meditation to relax you before bed (you might be sleeping through stress which can leave you very unrested and tense)

- frequent exercise encourages general body health, preventing injury and irritation

Medication is not always the answer, and I would encourage you to try other treatments and lifestyle changes before putting drugs in your body :)  If you absolutely need to get through the day before you can get to see a massage therapist or another therapist, you could take an ibuprofen (advil, etc.) to reduce sensation of pain and limit inflammation.

Good luck, feel better!

Answer 3

I doubt it. I have had the same problem for almost 6 years. Medicine will help you. Good luck!

Answer 4

see a chiropractor, get a massage, try yoga, swim, soak in a hot tub, take advil/alleve, consider repetitive work that you may do, and follow up with a doctor if these tips don't bring relief.

Answer 5

Maybe it has to do with the mattress that you are sleeping on.  Maybe try sleeping on a friends for a night and then if you are better then you need a new mattress.  If not then it would be a medical issue.  Then you would need to see your doctor.  Contact me for more assistance.
