sounds horrible (as I sit here in the same kind of pain!) Try botox in the muscles which are impinging on the nerves causing pain, try MRF (that is SUPER helpful for pain relief - kiss a lot of frogs to find the prince!) and try low dose opioids (I like percocet) if she doesn't have an addiction issue. Acupuncture. I am in P.T. now and it only seems to exacerbate my pain and muscle spasms. WET HEAT and stretching. Try sleeping on a rolled towel. I did that for maybe 6 months straight and it TOTALLY helped! I am going to start doing it again tonight. I had two cervical surgeries - on both sides. So sad it didn't resolve my problem. Oh - and wear a soft $10 whiplash cushy brace when she gets tired (when the muscles get tired) that is GREAT. I was good for about 30 years and then I wasn't. Seems my auto accidents and whiplash added up. It can take a couple of years to heal. My last whip lash was 6 weeks ago. Good luck.
