I use a wheat bag, deep heat gel pads, a pain killing cream my doctor gave as well as upping all my normal pain meds and I take Epsom salt baths if I am well enough to be able to safely step in and out of the bath.

Oh yes I have this so much, plus muscle spasms in my upper back. It just kills me.

I have found a moist heating pad or even ice helps.

Found a name for the neck wrap it's Bed Buddy! It really helps and you can put it anywhere on your body for extra heat to help out. I use a heat pad but this is an extra zap that helps and it stays warm for quite awhile before you throw it back in the microwave. I have even wrapped it around my ankles

I do! Every day I suffer in pain in this area. I usually just lay down often to help relieve some of it. Rub A535 extra strength heating rub on my shoulders helps for a bit. My partner rubs them often. I stretch a lot. Stretching hurts a lot but that pain helps dumb down other pain for a bit. I hope all or even one of these help you. Oh ya. Stretching in a hot bath hurts less and relaxes my muscles a lot. I find that my muscles become rock hard all over my body over time and I have to relax them with hot baths, heating rub lotion, like rub A535, message and sleep, i suffer with chronic fatigue syndrome as well so sleep a lot.

Hot and cold alternate..massage...maybe use of a tens machine... I use a tens machine and it really helps me. I have fibro, rheumatoid arthritis..etc and I have been using it for years. It's a good purchase.
