Arthritis Flare Up Causing Severe Muscle Spasms

The neck pain can be relentless. I’m up 2-3 nights a week with the pain. Rotating between a rice roll (sometimes heated), a heating pad and a very soft pillow. I have tried injections. Mine is aggravated by inflammation at the base of my skull and comes with very blurred vision and throbbing headaches like I’ve never experienced before,

I have had a similar issue with my neck&shoulder. I went to PT for help and it has definitely help. PT said my neck was arthritis but they helped the shoulder pain and it reduced my neck pain too.

Heat helps with my neck. Recently had Steroid injection between C1 C2: it really helps, how long will it last is the question?

I've recently bought a U shaped pillow. It's the one meant for pregnant women. I'm having a much better night's sleep now. It's like being wrapped in a warm hug

I'm sorry you're struggling, I can totally relate. I hope you get some relief soon!
