stretching
Thanks Thelma I'll try that one. I've been doing stretching exercises, gently, to see if that helps. Momentarily it does. I find that hyperextension is aggravating and flexion can be too particularly staring down at something.
I have notices that my right hand seems to lose the grasp of things although again I don't feel any weakness it just happens.
I think besides having a disc bulge somewhere in the cervical area maybe C5 or so I have some osteophytes I think. I do have DDD in C4-C6 I think and I believe I have that in my T spine as well.
I'd rest but I don't find rest helpful to alleviate this discomfort/pain. I had to take a fioricet last night (migraine med) in order to relax enough to get back to sleep after I woke up from sleeping on futon sofa (with neck and Tspine feeling just as bad if not worse).
I hope this all goes away by the 13th. If not I'll tell my PCP when I see her on that day. Meanwhile I'll try all the conservative measures I know including the stretch you mentioned.
