I want to say that I know what you are going thru, I have the same problem. With 3herniated discs in C4-5 &6... I go to a massage therapist every 3 weeks, but the only thing that helps me out is Therma Care - they are heat packs that stick to you skin and the heat lasts up to 8 hours. I found them at Walmart and Rite-Aid. use the neck one. I just move it from shoulder to neck depending on where the pain is the worst, It has made some days bearable. Hope this helps. Let me know if you come up with any other remedies or helps.
