Posted: 14:26 - 12 Dec 2017 Post subject: Neck pain |
|
|
I was told I'm Cervical disease (possibly "a bit" of hernia) by Orthopedic surgery doctor 3 weeks ago.
Now doing neck traction at Orthopedic surgery, taking pain killer.
No motorcycle, no bicycle, no swimming, no bowling at the moment.
My bad habit of cracking my neck for 20years made my Cervical disc loose and unstable, and I've twisted my neck while asleep, it was the start of pain in shoulder then neck.
What I can do now is walking in a pool, walking on a treadmill at gym.
I hope I get better someday.
Do any of BCFers suffer neck pain and still ride your bikes? ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

I dislocated my cervical vertebrae in a motorbike crash when I was 17. 30 years on, I occasionally get twinges when I turn my neck and a constant crunching noise that I can hear in a silent room.
With time, and a bit of physiotherapy, it hasn't really affected my motorcycling life. About 2 years ago I was in a serious road accident (in a car) and suffered soft tissue damage to my neck and upper back. That felt like everything had reset to the day of the bike crash but 3 months of physio had me back to normal again.
There is hope. Keep up the exercises. |
Thank you for telling me your experience. Your 2 times accidents are much severer than mine but you kept on physio excersise and got your health back to normal life. I respect you.
I keep going on physio + excercise what I can do now. ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

Much rest, physio and patience.
It took two years to be better.
What I’m trying to say is that it takes time to heal, don’t push it or you may make it worse. |
Thank you for your experience.
I will be careful not to try to push and hurry, and keep your advise in my mind. Rest, physio and patience. ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

I know you're in Japan, not China or Taiwan but do people do anything like Tai Chi over there?
Good, core exercises for alignment of joints and increasing muscle tone and range of movement as well as training an awareness of your body. All internal so very unlikely to do any damage and all exercises are performed standing with the crown suspended.
My practice has helped me a lot with back and shoulder pain and reduced the number of injuries I sustain in that area. I'd think it would be very good for the neck area too to build up muscles (which will in turn support the joints) and correct posture. You would need a good teacher who is aware of your problems.
One of my teachers runs classes specially for old ladies with osteoperosis who will often have very weak or collapsing vertebrae and they get a lot of benefit from it. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Thank you. I will carefully do massage myself while bathing, or ask at orthopedic surgery rehabilitation.

Thank you for your advice.
There are not so many people as China or Taiwan, but there seem to be some Tai Chi classes in my area too. It looks good for rehabilitation of my symptom too. ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

I get tension headaches and sometimes it locks up on one side - so when it is very bad, I can't turn my head beyond 45° and am unable to pick up heavy things with my right hand (so I avoid kettles and pans of boiling water!) -
I had a course of diclofenac (but got terribly addicted to it!) but also some physiotherapy helped, I learnt to do hyperextensions and conscious shoulder dropping - both of which help a lot.
I always have uddermint available, and/or red Tiger Balm to help ease discomfort. |
It looks painful. I hope you get well soon.
What is "hyperextensions"and"conscious shoulder dropping"?
Is it a kind of exercise? ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

Conscious shoulder dropping is just a matter of every time you realise you are tense, you consciously allow your shoulders to relax and drop back down into their correct position. It makes you think more consciously about the fact you are doing it.
Hyperextensions are just simple stretches, really. You turn your head to a comfortable degree and then place your hand and push gently so that you slightly turn it a little bit more in the same direction - effectively you are extending the muscle beyond what you thought you could do. Its very gentle and non-combative, so does not hurt or damage. You do it on both sides, and also whilst looking both up and down. |
Thank you for your explanation, it was really helpful for me! ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250
