> **BrainGlutton** , apologies if this is in the thread and I missed it, but have you tried physical therapy, or even someone like a neurologist or an orthopedist? Has someone with the proper training thought through the ergonomics of your workspace?

Have tried PT, didn’t seem to help much, but I didn’t keep it up for very long mainly for money reasons. Might try again. I’ve been evaluated by orthos for the possibility of a surgical solution – money again, and they’re not even sure it will help. I don’t believe ergonomics matter, it’s osteoarthritis; two or three of my neckbones have practically no cartilage between them any more.

> **BG** , I notice you’re in Florida. I hope your state passes medical marijuana–if it can help manage the pain of patients on chemo, perhaps it might be worth a try for you?

:rolleyes: No, no, marijuana does not kill pain.  
(However, it does sometimes make it possible to **enjoy** it. Remember this for your next dental appointment.)
