Your neck is supposed to have a natural curvature, like a C and mine has none. It is completely straight. So in return, it causes lots of musculoskeletal problems - pulling different muscles out of shape/place. Nothing is happening to them, they are just constantly extremely knotted up and hurting.

As of just recently - I go to PT sometimes, because that's the only person that really gets into the muscle. I've tried regular massage and deep tissue, and neither have worked. It's just something that's ongoing and I don't have time to be at the PT every other day. He says they are so deep there's no way they will ever just "go away" and that it will take quite some time just to get the knots worked out.

i deal with sort of the same thing. muscle knots can be a bitch. they can tighten around nerves and cut off circulation etc..Originally posted by FitnessBrat View PostAs of just recently - I go to PT sometimes, because that's the only person that really gets into the muscle.

i find that long hot showers help (hot as you can stand). it forces you to relax. also for me, i have to constantly watch my posture so that i dont hunch over. also important to keep stress to a minimum. stress plays a huge role in tight muscles.

You been to the chiro lately? cause when i went to the chiro about a month ago for my neck and shoulder he told me all the same things. Took an xray to see my posture. My spine looks like a friggin snake and apparently my neck is doesnt have the C shape either.Originally posted by FitnessBrat View PostYour neck is supposed to have a natural curvature, like a C and mine has none.

I'm not taking my already messed up neck to the chiropractor. Yes, I have been ages ago, but I'm not doing that again. My spine is mild scoliosis, also.

Dude, chiropractors all have a copy of the same xray! That xray machine they put you in isn't even real. It just makes a bunch of noise and then they have a stack of those xrays underneath to show everybody....LOL They give the same speech to every patient! :)Originally posted by COLOSSUS View PostYou been to the chiro lately? cause when i went to the chiro about a month ago for my neck and shoulder he told me all the same things.

But I love it, I know im getting great sleep if im dreaming like that, its my favorite side effect... ever , LOL

I have that pillow! It is the ONLY pillow that allows me to sleep without waking up in such pain. I didn't care what the cost was, I was determined to find A pillow that would net me some sleep without pain.

Your spinal cord didn't develop the curvature or it was messed up later in life?Originally posted by FitnessBrat View PostYour neck is supposed to have a natural curvature, like a C and mine has none.
