Feeling tense - help!

Hi

I'm now into week 14 and very pleased with myself. The only problem I'm having a very stiff and painful neck. I think it's from tension related to giving up smoking. Is anyone else have problems?

:(

Ooh that's nasty!!

You're doing brilliantly though :)

I get a sore and stiff neck too, but had that when I smoked so don't think it's related - more like my pillow? Stupid memory foam :mad:

Sorry to hear that! Perhaps you should use some of your savings from not smoking and go and have a nice relaxing neck massage

Thanks for your speedy responses! Well done to you too!

I've had a bad neck for a few years now, but it seems terrible after stopping smoking. I've got this heat / cold bag that you can stick in the microwave, so that helps. It's probably worse as I'm marking lots of assignments and sat at the screen. Off to Docs next week, so hopefully will be sorted.:)

Now that's a good idea!! I've just worked out that I've saved nearly £1100!!!:)
