i have neuralgia in my neck. I get a burning, stabbing creeping pain that travels. At times it feels that I have been stabbed and left with a gaping wound. I use a wrap around heating pad and Ben Gay, a rubbing ointment to tame it. It never goes away permanently, but these methods do help. If you can't get Ben Gay, any OTC pain cream should help. Good luck!

See a chiropractor to check for muscle cramps.

I see an osteopath for my neck. They are more gentle that chiropractic treatment.
