I have been seeilng my primary doctor for over a month for tryilng to find out if I can get some relief...and now have problem sleeping unless I take Vjicodin...which I do not want to ....due to it's addictive nature. jOh, I have taken 3 advil at a timle and it only give partial relief but for a short time...I am turning 75 this month....I had my yearly check up in July...and all my test were filne...and I have been feeling fine...I care for toddlers 5 days a week for 4 hours each...and have had no problem carilng for them...until last week and athe pain got so bad I couldn''t take it and care for the children as I know I shoul and CAN.

Hi from your detail description of the problem, I know you are having a very painful days and nights. I strongly believe that you have cervical spondylosis which is a age related problem due to bones getting thin and pressing on the nerve roots hence causing all types of pain. Along with pain killers (only when pain is severe) you also require physiotherapist and orthopedic opinion. They may take x-rays and MRI Scans to confirm it.. Hope this guides you real ted to your problem and wish you all the best
