I have severe Neck Pain & It's a Pitch Nerve?

Since my accident I have no curve in my neck which causes pain, headaches, and nerve damage down my right arm?

• My accident left my neck a mess and it was jumbled and curved the wrong direction.My doctor has given me pain medication for years and has now decided that the constant pain in my neck, head, upper back, shoulders, and arms isn't good enough for him to continue giving me pain medication. The bone doctor told me it is a big deal and has lead to much of my pain and the nerve damage I have down my right arm. How can I fight for my right to a quality of life even when my doctor is refusing to give the pain medications back that worked for me? I've been with my doctor for nine years and he treats me ask if my disability isn't good enough for him and insist my only problem is fibromyalgia. I have been told that I have fibromyalgia due to the trauma my body went through due to my accident. I can't find another doctor to take me and am left to suffer. What do I do? Don't I have any rights? I thought doctors were supposed to help not harm? I only take the medications because the pain makes me someone I don't like and I am unable to stop crying and get off of the sofa. I never wanted to take the medications but I tried everything else before the pain wore me down.At least with the medication I can do some normal things. Dr. Clinit Pearson thanks so much

• Answer:

  There are some dr.'s out there who have no concept of what kind of pain we go through with issues like yours. Then there are dr.'s who worry about handing out too much medication so they don't end up getting sued for some reason. The biggest problem is that the dr.'s don't fully understand the problem nor do they have the proper ways of getting rid of your pain, they have been masking it only. Accidents cause whiplash, the tightening up of your neck muscles and as the back and neck share muscles the problem can easily cross over into the back muscles as well. Your neck muscles go to the top of your head where they connect to muscles going around your head. When the neck muscles get tight they pull the head muscles into pain and that's your headache. The neck muscles can press onto nerves going to your arms to cause the pains in them. I've worked on necks were the person said the pain was going all the way to their fingertips. To get rid of the pains you have to free up your neck muscles to release the tight ones pulling the muscles into pain and here's how to free it up for your relief: Neck: Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle, behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck extended (lowered) for another 30 seconds. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed. Here's how to free up your back muscles so you can get relief to that area as well: Back: (do while sitting on a chair) Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front, and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm as straight as possible. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, then release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
