One time this happened to me and tylenol, advil, ect. weren't working. So, I went to the doctor. They checked me out and then gave me a prescription for Vioxx. I was a little upset because they didn't "fix" anything and I didn't want to just mask the pain with medication. I wanted the problem fixed. So, a friend suggested that I visit a chiropractor. Boy! Did they fix me up!!!!!!!!! It felt AMAZING! So, I got my back and neck straightened out without having to take any medication. I am so glad I went that route instead of taking meds especially since all these lawsuits against Vioxx have been popping up!
