I know your pain, all too well. I have had the shoulder issue (bursitis...sp?) and herniated disks in my neck. It hurts like nothing else that I have every experienced, including having a baby, naturally.

You need something stronger, if you can totally stay at home and relax. My doctor got to the point of Valium for me, but only if I stayed put on my couch and didn't have to drive. He said resting and applying the heat and cold compresses, periodically, was the only way I would heal. I think he was right.

I do hope you will get relief, soon.
