Chat line help
Hi all, last week was very difficult, both physically and mentally for me so I called the Versus Arthritis help line number. I spoke to Gillian who listened to my woes and advised on my condition. I found that just talking to someone else about my condition and feelings helped enormously, I managed to bounce back after another few days. I would recommend calling the helpline to anyone who is having a bad time. Thanks to Gillian.

Hi
Was diagnosed in October with mild osteoarthritis of the neck. I had heard of FlexiSEQ and it's advantages, so I tried it in January. Initially, I thought it was wonderful but now I am not so sure. When I get up in the morning, I have no tightness and I sleep all night, however, when I apply the FlexiSEQ, my neck begins to tighten at the side (no pain). I was wondering if the Ibuprofen I've been prescribed would be better. Any advice??
Thanks!

Hi @anniemack1, good to hear that you’re sleeping all night and sorry to hear that you’re experiencing some tightness when you apply the FlexiSEQ. Glad to hear there is no pain though. You may find this link helpful as it details evidence-based ways to manage symptoms and neck pain, including ibuprofen, and then have a talk with your GP so you can identify the best way to manage your symptoms safely. If you’d prefer to talk to us, our helpline 0800 5200 520 is open Mon to Fri 9am-6pm. Thanks, Natalie, Helpline Advisor.
