For the last 7 days I have been in severe pain, I have acute severe torticillis in my neck I hope I spelled that right anyways it hurts like he!! I kept hoping it would get better on its own with rest, it got worse. So today I went to the emergency room and they gave me an iv so they could give me morphine and vallium then 6 hrs later I took 2 500 mg darvocets and another valium and then 2 hrs later 800 mg of ibuprofen you know the kind prescribed then a few minutes ago more darvocets and vallium, it feels so good not to be in such intense pain, believe or not my neck still hurts but compared to the last 7 days I'm happy.

Sorry that you have been in pain,but glad to hear your happy now,I believe you about it still hurts:( I take shots in my neck ever so often.If I don't stop the pain quickly I tense up and it gets so much worse then.Hope you have a nice long relaxing(pain free) holiday:)
I bought a heated massage mat a wal mart tonight and am about to go to sleep on it,its got a timer.Theyre on sale for 38.00 and cover head to toe,real nice:)

Please let me know if it works well for you I would love to have one and will probably have to lay hubby one away too, is it the kind of sale where you can lay them away? Thanks.

I told dh I am in love with it LOL he may get jealous;)
I would think they could be put on layaway,it wasn't clearance and I don't recall seeing them advertised,I had been eyeying the large ones like these different places and cheapest I saw one was 59.00,so I jumped on this tonight,they were displayed in a center aisle in front of the pharmacy aisles(if that makes sense,I'm tired and been up a long time)Maybe you can get a couple online,seems to be a great deal to me,i was about to pay close to that for a new heat pad.

Mesue, sounds like a wonderful cocktail for pain. Sorry that you are hurting so much. I have muscle spasms in my neck if I get to stressed out. The pain is unbelievable. I can't imagine putting up with it for 7 days.

I have one of the long mat ones and one of the smaller ones that goes in a chair, I use the small one for my computer chair. I have R. Arthritis and Fibro. and alot of other health problems and they both have been life savers for me.
