Ive tried the thermal packs for lower back pain and they make me feel good. I think I went through a whole package. I think they only help if its a muscle.

Suzanne...how weird...I woke up a few days ago with a really bad pain down the right side of my neck and arm...was going to post and see if anyone could refer me to a masseuse or PT as my MD is an ass and won't see me. How strange that we both were going to post the same thing (but you beat me!)

I've used the theraheat patches and they are awesome. Also doing the sports rub thing.

Soak a towel in warm water and wrap it around your neck (or wet it and put in the micro). Take a muscle relaxer or Aleve.
