  • Do you have any methods for relieving neck tension?

    With the hours we spend sitting, we inevitably get neck tension. Especially if we have jobs that require us to stare at a computer, or we’ve had neck surgery.

    There are plenty of resources out there to get relief from the pain, but with how different our anatomies are compared to the average person, I thought it would be worth asking how other SMA patients specifically find relief from stiff necks. Mine has been especially bad lately. 😅

    I can’t live without my heating pads. Hot showers help, too. On the days when my pain is bad, I will take ibuprofen. In another forum, a few people brought up CBD lotion. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m wondering if it can help with neck pain as well. Have you ever tried it before?
