Among the missing

[LazyBkpr]

Wife had the shot for her neck.. they told her it "wasnt that bad" so, the shot went in....  lasted two days, then she was in tears again...  Life was not that great, both because I knew how bad she hurt, and because she could be downright mean when she was hurting..   I finally told the doc that he was either going to do something, or I was going to hire a lawyer. I couldnt take seeing her hurting that bad any longer, I was done with the BS....   therapy, PT, massages, pills...   I honestly believe they TRY to draw it out to get as much money as possible.  NO ONE should be in that much constant pain, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   At which point she was scheduled for surgery..  her neck IS better, but still bothers her when she sits about too much...  in her case, she seldom sits, so its working out OK at this point.
   I hope you find relief, your a good person. DONT let them pull your chain any longer than necessary.

Necks are a chronic problem to solve. So many moving parts, and so many things attach to the neck and upper spine. Through my years of massage and pain therapy, I have found that heat on the neck is comforting and reduces pain. Even in the summer it's a good idea to keep the neck warm at all times. Large heat packs the size and width of small towels, filled with rice or flax seed, microwaved a couple minutes, work wonders on necks. The kind that can wrap all the way from the back of the neck to the front.

Mammy, my wife uses buckwheat to fill the tubes, says it holds heat longer. She has made several and gave them to family and friends. They love them, i don't because when i get ready to plant buckwheat i have to go buy more seed. Jack

Jack Sprat, this is the size of my heat packs. So versatile, it covers the neck and shoulders and upper back. Or, you can heat it up, lay it down on your bed or couch, and heat up your entire spine, or lower back.

I like flax seed the best so far, but haven't tried buckwheat. I'm intrigued, where do I buy buckwheat?

I get mine at the MFA feed store, they have to order it and i can get it the next day or two.My wife and everyone she has gave one too say they will never be without one again. Jack
