I Have Neck Pain

@FriendlyDaddyNY2: I can relate so well. Stress will definitely make it feel worse. I went through pain management years ago. I can't do drugs. And if you are a sensitive person you feel it even more.

I do meditation to help me deal as well.

I cant do narcotics because my work is safety sensitive. I do light pain meds and muscle relaxers. What types of meditation? How does it help?

@FriendlyDaddyNY2: for starters I have a knowing of a higher entity/being/energy or whatever one wishes to call theirs. I believe it's all the same. And it all comes from a Love that we cannot comprehend fully.

And so I thank God (its easier for me to just call It God) when I wake up every morning. First and foremost.

Then I do breathing exercises. Ever heard of the chakras. There 7 basics chakras that while you breathe in you cam clear them and the energies that may be causing pain in our bodies. The more you concentrate on your breathing the less pain you may feel. I actually have to remember to do the breathing especially when it prevents me from doing anything.

I've been doing these for years and it helps me to deal and relax. Otherwise I would have to be in pain meds. That's not an option for me.

There's many other kinds meditations. You just have to search for them till you find one that works for you.

That's a start. Hope it helps some.

Usually its a one day thing for me

@FriendlyDaddyNY2: you are fortunate. Hope you go to the chiro regularly to keep those discs happy.
