All of these have provided temporary relief -SOMETIMES- usually nothing works for more than a few hours, sometimes more.

Ice pack around my neck first thing in the morning .

Fironal

Lidocaine

Topricin

Afrin

Tens Unit applied to face and shoulder/neck (great fashion statement!)

Hydrocodone

Mindfulness- Chronic pain App Mediation/self -hpnosis

Sometimes even doing all of the above doesn't help at all...arghhh!

Another member mentioned EMLA - anyone else have results with that? I can't find the cream mentioned . Also everything I've read says not to use it or lidocaine for that matter, in the area of the eyes. Makes it difficult since my pain is so bad from the above my left eye to below all the way to shoulder blade- also have pain in my left nostril as well.

Thanks to all!

You could use lidocaine patches closer to they eye than the cream blobbed on that area I think!

Thanks , do u know what is the smallest size I can get to try so that cutting them will be easier. They are by script only right?

Lavender essential oil. I will smell it. Put a dab on my jaw joints, temples, and neck and put a few drops on my pillow helps me sleep :slight_smile:

You can get a microwavable Magic Bag that fits around you neck and shoulders.
Sometimes even a hot shower will help for a bit. I get that down the neck and into the shoulder blade pain too.
