> You were in a car accident also? I'm lucky, hope you are too. Unless I do something to my neck, I almost never get the headaches and neck pain I used to. If you think about it, your putting pressure on the very discs that are messed up, when your head goes back. I feel for you chasing toddlers in that pain! Hope you get something good from Doc, I found switching things around worked, until I didn't need them anymore.

> ~JadeYes, it was...jeez, i wanna say 8 yrs ago...(wow! didn't even realize it was that long ago!). That's when the neck and headaches started. I did see a chiro back then and he helped with the the head aches and stiffening neck pain. But since then I fell on my back and got pregnant (and subsequently gained alot of weight during the pregnancy which aggrevated the pain in my back) so I HAD to lose a lot of weight just to be able to lay down and get back up because my back would lock up. I can't even carry my kids on certain days :( hurts my back too much.
But I've noticed since the accident I've had tingling (kind of a sensitive to the touch pain) down my leg, I get what I call patches of tingling and numbness in my back, and now the numbness in my right toe. And when my back hurts a lot (especially when I lay down for some reason) the numbness expands to the inside part of the same foot. I'm guessing it will get worse, since it has been over an 8 yr time span.
So what has helped you?
