Hi Caroline
In addition to DDs suggestion you may also like to have a look at our 'Coping with Pain' booklet which you can down load from this link: http://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/PublicationsandResources/Listedbytype/Booklets or send us a PM with you full name, age and postal address so we can send you an information pack.
Here is another useful information link: http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/arthritis_information/arthritis_types__symptoms/neck_pain-1.aspx
Hope that hlps

Many thanks guys i went and bought one and it helps a bit but only while your wearing it .
Thanks caroline0 -
Hi Caz
i got it too
Heat and ice I agree help no end. Have never tried my tes but have one :shock: silly me!
Also taking painkillers regularly. Not sleeping on too many pillows or trying just a rolled up handtowel in you neck?
Hope you feel better soon.
Love

Its a right downer at times
i done just 20 mkins of ironing about a week ago and left me in such a mess had to get some diazepam to get me moving again.
The tens machine is ok but only helps for a short while
how long have you had it for?

I've had it for ages but dont use it enough - its a bit of a faff isnt it?
Poor you ironing is a bit of a no-no isn't it?
Try ten minutes at a time more than once a day instead?
Or ironing WITH the tens on?! If it works please let me know.
Is yours two or four pads?
