    Hi Val,

    necks are odd things and can do a whole range of strange feelings at times. If it doesn't settle by monday maybe you could see your doctor? I hope it does soon settle and well maybe physio isn't helping at the mo? Cris x

    Hi Val. I had physio on my neck before i was dx with OA.
    Its not a good idea to mess around with necks when they dont know whats wrong.
    Mine tried Tens,massage,some thing that caused massive pins & needles & spasms(ultra something),When he tried the manipulation he put me out of action for weeks.
    When i went again he refered me back to my GP says he cant help me any further.
    Report said''did not respond to treatment''Turned out i have Fibromyalgia,which affects muscles,tendons & ligaments,CFS,IBS,on top of the OA.
    Im now under the pain clinic awaiting acupuncture & injections into the neck under xray.
    If you feel treatment isnt helping you can refuse it & go back to GP or rhymy.

    Don't leave it will you? See your doctor, maybe you need some other treatment.

    Just wondered if anyone has said about a soft collar, see if that helps you, but your doctor is the one to see Val, he knows your medical history.

    If he cannot do anything then ring rheumy, ask them.

    I was under a pain clinic and I had acupuncture and it did help a lot.

    love Trish xxx
