Q: Arthritis in neck
asked by: DoctorQuestion on November 3rd, 2009
I am a 52 year old female who has had multiple spinal injuries,one being a C-4 compression fracture several years ago and now I live with constant pain in my neck and down into the left arm!I have been going to a Chiropractor looking for relief and a medical M.D. The M.D.swears more harm than good comes from Chiropractors(I must say that I now have headaches)from the adjustments and still have the neck pain,but the M.D. says"not much you can do"for the now set in arthritis and have prescribed an Anti~depressant~Celexa~and has claimed all of my pain will cease in time while on this, for I am mostly depressed!Well yes I am depressed that this pain IS real and I just feel as if I am in limbo and must live with no real answers!Is there any treatment out there for arthritis in the neck?
