What do you guys take for muscle tension and even nerve pain? Wish I knew how to get rid of all this tension and pain in my chest arms neck jaw. I’ve tried Tylenol ibuprofen neither seem to do much of anything don’t really know what to try need suggestions. I’ve tried stretching but seems that only helps my arms for like a minute.

Continue to stretch. Use ice and heat where comfortable. Try getting out in nature. Mostly remember this too shall pass.

Google inflammation. I have had nerve problems for years due to computer work. Someone suggested turmeric in the morning and magnesium at night (it makes you sleepy). That has been working. My arm used to fall asleep all the time. Not anymore. Inflammation is actually responsible for a lot of illness so possibly this is your body telling you in a loud voice. It effects almost every part of your body and is caused by many things including your diet.

your have to start with gentle stretching and do it over a period of time. Gradually you can make the stretches deeper. Stretching for a day or two is not useful. It takes weeks to months to see and feel real improvement. The process can feel good though as even very small stretches on the first day can feel good.
