I have herniated discs C-5 and 6. The pain and symptoms (numbness in fingers) comes and goes.
I found that HEAT really does help to loosen the area. You can either try a heating pad or those heating patches (available at the pharmacy) that you apply to your neck.
Massage once in a while helps to break up any muscle tightness. You can do it yourself–or better yet, have it done by a professional.
Heat works well and so does ice packs. Ice packs you only leave on for 20 minutes out of an hour. It helps to shrink the swollen muscles that tighten down on your bones. You can’t leave them on the hole 20 minutes straight because it starts to hurt but take it off for 30 seconds and replace at own comfort. But do not go over the 20 minutes in an hour. Do this till it feels better.
hope this helps
You need some type of pain killers and some muscle relaxers. You need to get yourself checked out and get them precribed to you. Good luck, hope you feel better.
One remedy for degenerative disc disease in the neck is using a cervical support pillow that will align your head and neck in the right position for sleeping. Check out the Cervical traction neck pillow by Arc4life to read more about this pillow: http://www.arc4life.com/site/615058/page/158456
Also, I think neck stretches and cervical traction will help you as well with this neck pain and soreness that you are probably experiencing.
Hope this helps.
