I went to my doctor after about a week of pain in my neck. He diagnosed me with a pinched nerve, and prescribed me Vicodin, Flexeril, and Prednozone. It’s been about 4 days since I’ve been on these medications and they only seem to knock me out, making me sleep all day, not helping with the pain.
If in the end these don’t help, what more can a doctor do for me?
I definitely agree with the last person, but I have not had much luck with chiropractors. Perhaps you should go see a physical therapist. They can do massage to ease the pain and aid in strengthening your neck. There are different therapies that both doctors can do. Yes, look outside the box. Get off of those meds!

A chiropractor can adjust the vertebrae in the neck so the nerve isn’t pinched any more. First they take an xray to look at the way the neck and nerves are sitting, then manipulate the vertebrae so there is no more pain, AND no more nasty pain pills that cost a fortune and only fix your pocket book, not the pinched nerve!!
