Way easier postpartum recovery despite a much bigger baby. It's also helped with what I call the Nursing Slouch Ache @hellobeeboston: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2302872 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 08:33:33 +0000 hellobeeboston 2302872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: good call, I can't even imagine how out of whack your body is after giving birth! When my first was a month old I had a really bad neck spasm and could barely move! It was awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2302846 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 06:59:47 +0000 MrsSRS 2302846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: I saw a chiro who frequently sees pregnant women and being in good alignment really helped my birth and made a huge difference in getting everything back where it belongs afterward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2302836 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 06:39:36 +0000 hellobeeboston 2302836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: @gingerbebe: thanks!! Will be doing both of these today!! 40+5! I do wonder about seeing a chiro as this seems to be a reoccurring issue for me..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2302814 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 00:03:58 +0000 gingerbebe 2302814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got this at the end of my pregnancy too. I alternated rice sock and ice packs 24/7 and had my husband massage Ben gay into my shoulder at night and rock those menthol patches during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2302773 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 21:15:12 +0000 MrsSRS 2302773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slow, gentle, consistent work on range of motion. Do 10 sets of looking slowly as far right as you can then as far left. Then 10 sets of tilting ear to shoulder each side, then 10 sets up and down. Go slowly and relax into the movement but don't try to push it. Try this twice a day or so after using heat. That and a chiropractor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2302015 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 10:15:10 +0000 hellobeeboston 2302015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I actually think I have a rice sock somewhere! I forgot about it but maybe I will just fill a sock, thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2301992 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 10:01:48 +0000 avivoca 2301992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Do you have a rice sock? Get a mens sock, fill it 2/3 with dry rice, and microwave it for 30 seconds, then 10 second increments until it's at the desired heat. It really helped me get through the day when I got a crick in my neck (it was so bad that my chiropractor asked me what happened). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2301956 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 09:34:58 +0000 hellobeeboston 2301956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: not a pinched nerve, just tight/sore. But I've had these turn into full blown spasms before so I'm scared of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2301951 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 09:34:12 +0000 hellobeeboston 2301951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. Doing Tylenol since I'm 40+4 days pregnant, but I don't love taking it so trying to use sparingly.<br /> Been running it, keeping it warm. Ugh! Hope tomorrow it is better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2301950 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 09:33:24 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2301950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i do Advil every 6 hours and try to get in for a massage. But it always lasts at least a couple of days...:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2301854 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 08:05:53 +0000 blackbird 2301854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it a pinched nerve? I usually see my chiropractor. Otherwise, i rub it like crazy and use lots of heat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2301845 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 08:00:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2301845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with Advil and a good massage - Have your DH rub it as hard as you can stand to get the kinks out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2301837 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 07:52:10 +0000 Eko 2301837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get these occassionally. The only thing I do is use a heating pad, massage, and Advil. It takes a couple days to go away. I don't know if a faster remedy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorestrained-neck-help#post-2301727 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 04:34:13 +0000 hellobeeboston 2301727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you guys ever get a super stiff neck?! I seem to do this to myself at least once a year. A couple times it's gotten really bad and turned into a terrible spasm and I can barely move. </p> <p>I think I slept weird or I am just sitting weird with my 40+ week belly and working on my computer still. </p> <p>What can I do to make this get better FAST?! I really don't want all this pain while going into labor and delivery :( </p>
