I am gonna try to address this using my rudimentary anatomical knowledge.
My mom told me that a doctor told her she has Osteoarthritis. I then asked her where the pain is, she said her neck. I am assuming that she has a problem with one, or more than one, of her 7 cervical vertebraes.
What I am looking for are home remedies, or store stocked pain killers for the pain.
Didn't the doctor recommend anything for pain?
No, she goes back friday. But until then she needs an easer.
Has she tried Motrin or Advil? Three over the counter tablets equal the 600mg prescription dosage. When the issue is inflamation, it helps most people.
Hey, thanks. I'm going there tonight, credit card in hand.
An after thought, what would you think of getting a can of bear repellant if it works out to be cheaper? I forget the %, but it's way over.75% which is still way above most of the analgesics on the market.
might a supportive collar help?
my daughter cricked her neck very badly on holiday once and was in absolute agony, I rolled a hand towel up and pinned it round her neck and she found a huge relief from the support of it. Poor kid had to wear it for days - the pain of not wearing it outweighed the lack of 'cool' in wearing it!
