not a happy turtle.

hi all. for wahile now my neck issue. has worsened. i am getting cold numbe li8ke dry ice coming from my neck and shoulders. it goes to the base of my skull. got to keep tilting back. i rang nurse on call last week as i was tingling in my head, foggy, lethargic, they wanted me at emergency. it is like my neck can't hold my head up. i do have sublax shoulders and riddled with arthritis in my neck. this feels like a compression. muscles just like rocks. nurse said stop stretching as i may have caused some damage. have a doc appt. next week. my head feels so light. i don't feel it is an emergency. terribly burning cold. any thoughts. i only will attend emergency if i am not kicking. it's like my head needs to be pulled up. sorry for moaning. just thought i would ask you guys your thoughts. with thanks.

cheers for that. i will mention it to my doc. thanks. ttyl. have a good day. i know at times i am a PITK, the good kind, caring kind, sometimes bullish hold my ground kind, but this is ridiculous!!!! bed time. bloody freezing. i am rugged up.

Hope you can get seen by your doctor soon...maybe try ice packs or heat pads to help...
Prayers and well wishes...new mri's should get done...just as a precaution...

This is why I moved from upstate far South!! Lol I guess a out of country move is out of the question? I hate winter and how it effects my pain so stay warm HT and a little trick I used before changing my status from snowbird to a resident of Florida was using the ThermaCare patches as much as possible. The nice big one's fit comfortably on your back or tummy and the neck one added extra heat to my body. Hope you can stay warm.

If you can get a heating pad keeping one on low wrapped around one's neck does wonders for keeping drafts away. I know muscles tensed up against the cold can cause trouble - and tight muscles in the neck can inhibit blood flow to the brain which might make you head feel light.

Hope you feel better soon!
