Thanks for all your advice and input everyone. I woke up this morning and the pain was gone. I KNOW it's only temporary. Of course the tingling and numbness in my left arm and hand are still there. I'm looking into homeopathic stuff and will talk to my doctor about it, since I'm on a couple of meds for my depression.

One of the culprits is my career as a paramedic. 20 years of lifting and carrying people down flights of stairs, through fields of weeds, etc., has taken a toll on my body. I was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis of my neck and back, along with a pinched nerve in my neck.

I didn't realize there were so many PT members who suffer from the same thing.

Wom,

Thanks for the links!
