Neck Relief

[Guest Raskie]

me suffering from bad neck and shoulder pain ... have had these for days oredi ... sigh .... anyone got good recommendation for doctor or neck specialist ? :pray:

thanks in advance ...

unker, dun recommend go ktv hor ... wahahahahahaha .... :devil2:

[Guest narmi]

Bro, no need go doctor just yet..

Get urself a really good pillow.

That should lessen your tension.

You go doctor, most of them will just prescribe muscle relaxant. This is just temporary and will only cure the symtoms and not the problem.

the last thing u should do is go to a chiropractor. (sorry ah if there's any chiropractor in here)

If its really bad, find yourself a good orthopaedic bro..

[Guest Raskie]

hmm .. change quite a few inc using Tempur .. but no good le ... lately seems to be getting worse ... maybe u can recommend a good pillow I can try ?

[Guest narmi]

I used tempur as well. worst 300 bucks spent!

Then, i went to jakarta and stayed at the ritz and found out that i didnt have my neck ache whenever i sleep over there.

Asked the concierge for the brand of the pillow and they said i could actually buy a brand new pillow from them.

Found out didnt have any brand, but the pillow is 500g goosedown.

So i went to robinson to get one along the same weight and it helped.

But alot of trial and error at getting the right height coz i'm used to high pillow position but found out that my neck feels better the next day when my pillow height is low.

So i just used 1 500g pillow and thats it.

Now feel alot better but still sometimes the ache will come back once in a while.

datuk you are damn right. My allegiance is sworn with 4 seasons pillow manufacturer. Love their freakin thick mattress protector!! Sink right in and that's it bro... Can't get up for work on time

[Guest narmi]

Ya man!!

At 1st, i actually thought that it was because i was in Jakarta that my neck feels sooooooo good everyday! (laid it down to the fact that i was getting a gd traditional indo massage every other day)

But went there again and one time, and didnt have any time for massages, and STILL felt good..

So finally worked out that the pillows and mattress are what's responsible ah..

[Guest narmi]

Bro, sorry to hijack ur thread ah, but the neck problems seems to have lead to topics on vodka!

and speaking of vodka, i have been really hooked to martinis these few weeks!

what say u we all meet up over some vodka bar and discuss about our neck problems??? (ok ok, i added in the neck problem thingy to stay on topic)

Hello, my name is Narmi, and i'm an alcoholic!

*altogether now...

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:HELLO NARMI!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Guest redhood]

Some of my frens use Phiten products and have good results. Use only if u have acute aching. The tape works best but is pricey.

me suffering from bad neck and shoulder pain ... have had these for days oredi ... sigh .... anyone got good recommendation for doctor or neck specialist ? :pray:

thanks in advance ...

unker, dun recommend go ktv hor ... wahahahahahaha .... :devil2:

Unker cannot recommend U anything!

Unker has neck pain since 4 years ago and probably unitl I leave this earth.

The neck pain is just like having a stiff neck and I has to live with it for the rest of my life.

I've tried various pillows - no help.

I've beign to Chiropractors - no help

I've tried all types of massages - serious 1 hor!

I've being to a few very qualified TCMs - slight improvement.

I've gone through 6 months of weekly physio @ TTSH - slight improvement.

I m on permanent long term pain-killer and muscle relaxant medication.

I've gone though 2 MRIs on my neck. (1 from TTSH & 1 from SGH)

Both doctors thought I work as a construction worker cos the MRIs show

that my 3rd & 5th cervical is nearly gone and the specialists told me operation is not an option.

My spinal cord going down the neck on 1 side nearly has no space on 1 side.

If I have a fall, I might not be able to get up and be paralysed permanently.

I go on 5 monthly medical appointment for "pain management" @ TTSH.

So I hope after U listened to what I am suffering, U should be relief that your neck pain is

hopefully temporary or maybe once in awhile and not permanent.

Amen! Amin! Amithaba!!!

[Guest Raskie]

Unker ... :iconsalut: you

my neck problem will come and go ... when it appears, usually last 2-3 weeks making life miserable ... cannot conc on work also ... sigh. has been like this for almost 4-5 years oredi ...

old liao ...

[Guest CBlack]

last sat i fri i was at vivo city and there is ang moh selling some herbal eye, neck, shoulder, tummy, etc relief stuff (either heat up in microwave or freeze it depending on the product). i tried the shoulder one and it feels quite good ie the heat plus the herb helps relieve the tireness.

[Guest fruitcakepablohoney]

Unker Batam, me too has this damn neck & shoulder problem (my left side) for ages seems like no cure!

Only temporally relieve is to go for a good massage & analgesic balm....sigh! :-\

Hi Jeff,

Lucky for U still can seek some temp. relief.

Neck massages make my neck pain worse.

I suffered despression before when I could not accept to live with the pain and my quality of life dropped.

The pain level of 0 with no pain to 10 with extreme pain - On good days it has a pain level of 3 and on bad day it can be up to 8.

I've learn to live with the pain - It is just like having a stiff neck for the rest of your life.

Looking to the rear of the car when reversing or turning my head to the right to see any on-coming car is "painful"

I have to start my day with muscle relaxant and pain killer.

Long term taking of pain killer is no good but what else can I do?

Dear Bro Raskie,

U got knee pain too arh....hehehehe!

Better take some Glucosamine and hope that might help your knees.

Knee operations of any sort should be a last resort if you find your quality of life

has dropped to a level that U cannot live with it.

I got my left toes all 5 of them wriggling non-stop even when I sleep.

They wriggled so much till I feel painful from the tired toes everyday & nite.

Sometimes I jokingly tells my wife to cut of my lower leg to stop the pain.

The TTSH Neuro Science Clinic has done many clinical tests over a few months period.

They poke needles attached with cables to my legs like TCM, sending electrical pulses through them

and monitoring all the "actions" on a computerized program.

They even did a lumbar puncture to do further test.

They found that even if I keep my leg still, somehow there are signals

from my brain going down my left leg to my toes.

They couldn't do anything about it.....Chiatlak!!!!

Maybe another avenue I've not tried is hynotism....hehehehe!!!!

Sleep....sleeepppp.....sleeeeppppp...your eyes are getting heavy......sleeeeeeep bro....wahahahahaha!!!! ;D

So guys, each day we are growing older and our body mileage is piling up.

We hope 1 day they can wheel us into the theatre and change spare parts

like what the mechanics do the our rides.....original MB parts hor......heheheheh!!!! ;D

Bro lavender / wheat pillow sibor ? I know of some women who swear by these products.

Man, never knew you guys suffered so much esp. you Unker! OMG. I sincerely wish you all well and hope you recover somehow against the odds from the bottom of my heart. :pray: :pray:
