Hi laurasmom

Unfortunately this can be one of the symptoms that comes with Fibro.

Have you tried changing your pillows at all? Sometimes too firm a pillow can add to neck pain.

Have you ever tried Magnesium Spray Oil? You can buy it in Holland & Barrett. I started using it myself a few months back and it can help in just taking the edge off the pain.

Just make sure that you don't use it on any broken skin or rashes.

I hope that some of our other members can come up with some more tips for you.

Wishing you a peaceful day

I find that the headex type pain reliever helps. The sort that looks like a stick of glue

Hi Lu. I am surviving. Hows you.

I find a firm pillow that's quite flat with a squashy soft pillow on top helps. When the neck pain is bad I get a warm wheat bag on it and it helps to relax the muscles. A bit of voltarol gel or magnesium spray helps too.

Hi laurasmom

I am so genuinely sorry to read this my friend and I suffer with something very similar to this. I bought a couple of memory foam pillows and they help me a great deal. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Dear Laura, I suffer with neck and right shoulder pain all the time, and any jerks or movement it gets to be agony. Having tried many things, the best is heat. I have neck cushions which are heated in the microwave. Do try it. helps.

Hi , I get that too. I have found the only thing that helps is heat and rest. I get that more when I'm over tired. Hope u feel better soon x

Hi, I also suffer from neck, shoulder and head pain. I have tried that many different pillows to no avail. I did use a wheatbag but you have to be careful if it's on your neck or shoulder as there have been fired as they can overheat if covered over. I was amazed and thought it was only the gel ones but it's also the wheat ones apparently. I now use a warm water bottle - just warm so as you don't burn yourself and also rest. That's the only thing that helps me. Hope you start to feel better
