pain in the neck

My knees are the worst and I have had periods of bad pain although they have not been too bad for the last few months.  My neck troubles me sometimes but not all the time.  It is usually at the end of the day and cause neck pain headache and sometime slight dizziness.  Now to get on to your question although I cannot answer your question I can tell you that I have lower back pain pain at waist and higher up at shoulder blade level.  I sometime get some aching in the arms and hand I assume this is from the neck.  I too have pain in my legs and feet at times.

I thought for along time this was to do with the knees but the consultant told me that it is probably from the spine.  Before reading your post I was going to ask members what type of pain and location they get if they suffer from spinal arthritis.

I know this does not help you but at least you know you are not alone.  My gp did not mention how the neck would affect what me either.  I was diagnosed with the neck around 5 years old.  Hard to remember.   What medication do you take?  

I can only take paracetamol but I use a cream called pernaton which helps a little.

You don't mention how old you are but I would maybe see your gp for a spine xray.  Then you will know what pain is coming from where hopefully although I am sometimes confused.  Good luck. 

pain in legs not related to c.s....but due to c.s some times pain radiates to the shoulders, hands, and back also....so try these to avoid c.s...
