Hey guys...I have a question

[dolo amber]

So I have this "condition" with my right shoulder/neck/upper back. It's some sort of nerve issue; basically, due to large breast size, I've developed right shite posture and have coincidentally pinched a nerve somewhere in the area. This really started acting up after the birth of my youngest kid (5 yrs ago) and I have periodic flare-ups, then periods of ok-ness. Well, recently it's been hurting like mad...plus I'm getting horribly nauseating hot/cold rushes up and down my arm, which then makes me feel like I've just gone down a hill on a rollercoaster...and a dull, throbbing ache. x(

My question is this: I don't have health insurance, so going to a Dr. who will (if past experience when I did have it holds true) most likely just prescribe muscle relaxers and Ibuprophen horse-pills and physical therapy is currently out. What do you do for this kind of pain? Ice? Loads of Advil? A sling? I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks! :hi:

1. how's your sleep?

2. I've got a gimpy leg

that sometimes does that.

I've found that stretching and strength training help with joint problems of that ilk. Probably not a cure, but you might give it a try.
