This is just band aide therapy tho I'm wondering if you've tried an injection of 60mg of Toradol IM for muscle spasms just to see if there's any pain alleviation "if" there is muscle spasm involved?

I've a small disc bulge at C 5/6 tho sometimes my neck "goes out" and I can even move my head at all except to move my eyes as the spasms are so bad and this has really come in handy to break up a pain cycle.

I realize it sounds like what you have is more complicated tho I just wondered if you've tried this and/or if has or would help. When my neck is bothersome I often have to switch activities or adjust them down to get over a flare up tho it's the T-injec that really helps with bad spasms for me (no cord compression).

Walking my 18 lb miniture schnauzer that tries to break away and chase squirrels even while on a leash is what usually sets my neck off. I'd like to be able to do some upper body weight training tho every time I do this sets off my neck spasms so I've thought about Aquatic work outs tho just cannot force myself into a pool until it warms up a bit here consistantly.

Good luck.. I hate it when my neck hurts so badly I feel every step when I walk (how my low back used to be when it was really bad).
