Severe nerve pain in the C2 and C3 area of your neck

eddieboy, I use chiropractics, but it depends on the cause of the nerve pain. Have you had MRIs.

I’m so sorry that you’re in pain. I can certainly relate. I’ve been offered pretty much everything out there for similar neck pain, and since I haven’t wanted to get addicted to anything, I’ve refused the opioid type stuff. Recently, I started taking Meloxicam 15mg once a day (always with food) and it has really helped. I usually also take Tylenol with it. (This has been okayed by my doctor) l have been warned that these medications carry serious risks to my kidneys, liver and heart but since they are all healthy, and I have frequent tests to make sure they remain that way, I’m willing to take the risk. Granted, it isn’t 100% relief and it doesn’t last 24 hours, but if I take it with breakfast, I get a good enough chunk of the day to work on my farm and accomplish most of what I need to get done.
I also have been working with a physical therapist who uses the McKenzie method, which is different from any other PT program I have ever had, and this too has helped tremendously.
I wish you luck with your quest for relief and healing ❤️‍🩹

Sorry you are going through this…my docs gave me very low-dose amitriptyline, 10 mg…. Take it at night, can make one sleepy…also can make you thirsty, so hydrate ! I also like a nice hot shower or a bit of heating pad on my neck/upper back.. during the day, an occasional Tylenol…my osteopath and PT are helpful as well…there are some good, simple neck exercises they gave me so I don’t get/stay stiff. Wishing you good luck !

I know heat helps some ppl. But ice packs help me more.
