Intense neck pain

Sunshine8

Hi 👋 I’m a newbie and looking for advice, I am suffering intense pain in my neck spreading to my head. Could anyone recommend a neck massager? Or suggest exercises that might help. Thank you for any suggestions

Hi! You can buy special pillows that help support and align your neck. Have you got one? They help.

Good morning @Sunshine8 welcome to the online community. @swimmer60 is quite right may people do find changing their pillows can make a huge difference to their neck pain. I am presuming that you ahve already seen your Dr about your neck?

You did ask about exercises so I am adding this link for you:

Thank you I will definitely look out for the pillows. I have seen my doctor and an osteopath however after 4 weeks I’m still in intense pain. I’m waiting for a reply from my glaucoma consultant to see if I can take the medication the doctor prescribed. I going to look at the exercises now 🙏🙏🙏
