When I overdue things and my C4/5 & 5/6 start burning & throbbing, and the morphine doesn't do anything, I reach for the bag of ice. Ten minutes on, ten minutes off, and within two or three tries, the inflammation has gone down a lot.
I also have much greater pain in the lumbar area, and the medication that will help there does nothing for the cervical area. Strange, but no one can explain it.
I hope this helps and that this flare up is just temporary, and will disappear forever very soon.
