I had a really bad back once that physio couldn't help. I went to acupuncture and it was great!! As a bonus, my neck pain, which was chronic, was also fixed! I've also heard that some people have good results from chiropracters and naturopaths. I'd certainly explore every avenue and surgery would be a last resort.

I have this problem too. Have some disks callsofied (misplelled) & last yr or so can't turn my head either way very far at all. Thinking about going to a chiropractor. My son is 1 but his office is too far away. If sit at this thing (computer) too long is when mine starts up. At nite I use rub ons & take idtrophren (mispelled).
We're all in same boat. This human body does things as it ages, huh???

When my neck hurts I try to only sew in short time periods and then rest my neck - do neck exercises - take pain reliever. And try to keep your machine at a level where you don't have to look down to sew.

Celebrex was wonderful for all my needs, but I'm allergic to it. That and alot of other anti-inflammatory drugs. Make sure your sewing machine is lower than your shoulders so your hands don't have to reach 'up'. If cutting causes you more pain, ask a friend or sister to help you cut. Whatever seems to aggravate it the most, save until you have a good day. Trying to do things we we hurt causes more inflamation. I wish you the best.

I'm sorry that you're hurting.

I am full of arthritis. I tried many different methods to relieve my pain, but nothing worked. A doctor, who was just covering for my family doctor, prescribed a drug named "Arthrotec". I am now mostly pain free and enjoying all of life's little pleasures again. I hope this helps !
