    Yeah they might just prescribe u some muscle relaxers and tell you to take it easy. I would be persistent about it because spinal issues are no f***in joke. So if you aren't feeling better after doing whatever the doc suggests then definitely do a follow up appt.

    thank u, i shall

    Neck chronic pain gang

    every day is suffering

    I got a sinus infection from having severe allergies for weeks. A side effect of that is that my lymph nodes on the back/side of my neck are swollen AF and also very painful to the touch. But weirdly they have also caused my actual neck musculature and skeleture to become even worse.

    I been seeing this very specialized massage therapist lately as a last ditch attempt to fix my neck after like 7 different medical professionals could not help in any way. $130 an hour!!!! And I'm only seeing marginal improvements!! And now with these nodes all swollen it feels like I'm back at square one...

    Im afraid it's never going to get better man....

    Can a dr do anything about the swollen lymph nodes? I know when I had mono, I got prescribed prednisone because my throat was so swollen. If it’s interfering with your neck so much, they might do something similar

    Yeah I'm taking some antibiotics for the infection which should help the nodes go down as well. They're slowly going down I'm on day 3 of the meds.

    It's just so frustrating to progress so slowly and then have one random thing like this seemingly set me back so far.

    Hopefully I feel as good as I did before once I'm over this illness.

    Yeah I sleep on my side or stomach, trying to switch to back but I toss and turn while I sleep (and I guess get into dislocating positions)

    yeah I roll over a lot too. it helps me to start on my back tho and try and remember to switch to my back if I wake up during the night.

    I do a 12-14 IF. e.g. If I finish eating at 8pm I won't eat again till 8am (or later). It's easier that way cos you're sleeping during the fast for the most part lol. Nothing wrong with drinking black coffee, I tend to have one in the morning with breakfast and maybe another in the afternoon.

    Thing is with IF and other fasting regimens is that people think it's a cure all instead of looking at it as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes exercising, eating healthy, getting enough sleep etc. Don't overthink it too much and occasionally try longer fasts as well.

    That's not fasting it's going to bed

    Definition of fasting - "abstain from all or some kinds of food or drink, especially as a religious observance."

    You don't need to be awake to get the benefits of fasting or IF, you just need to make sure there's a long enough window of time where you're not eating - in that window you can be asleep, it still IF. It's not hard to understand.
