I love New England...Moose on the beach and 80 degrees ... how wonderful.   I lived in the Boston area for 10 years... Concord and Cambridge.

I had accupuncture today and a 45 minute massage on my neck alone.   He worked so hard on it and  said the muscle on my neck was real sore and tough.  Boy, I could have told him that when I walked it, but it felt good hearing it from him.  It's just so frustrating that he works on it and the PT works on it and I take Neurontin and Topamax and Cymbalta and the muscle is still tough as a rock.   I can't wait till I get that Nerve block to see if it breaks it up.   Something's gotta break it up.   Nothing else is working.   I try heat and ice and that doesn't work either.

I took a neurontin an hour ago but the muscle is still there running up my neck and skull.   Time will help I hope.   All we have is hope.

Take care,

Oh, no!!!  Put some Heat on it and rest.  Don't overdo it just because the meds work.  You've got to recover slowly.  I hope you get better fast, not like me.
