I had a similar problem years ago. Muscle, tendon, and ligaments in my neck, upper back and shoulder area got all locked up, causing one or more of my neck vertebrae to be pulled out of alignment. That in turn gave me all sorts of trouble including pinched never-like symptoms. It hurt so bad it was a twenty minute chore of agony just to get up and get to the bathroom and back. Simply reaching a few inches for the tv remote brought mind-numbing pain.
I got my doctor to write me a prescription for something called NORFLEX. It was a pill that was half muscle relaxant, half anti-inflammatory. Within 8 hours after taking the first one the pain level was down by more than half, and my mobility level was UP by the same. By the 24 hour mark (3 pills) I was about 90% recovered.
I don't think you can get Norflex anymore though. It's no longer available in Canada, but it might still be in the US. Recent inquiries have alerted me that it can still be gotten in Mexico at least. If you can find it or something like it of a similar strength, that's your ticket.
The combination of relaxing those muscles plus taking down the inflamation was the thing that allowed everything to ease back into place. If I ever find a source for Norflex that's willing to ship to Canada I'm going to definitely stock up.
