Let it be known that I am a rather severe needle phobe, but after a rock climbing accident left me with 5 bulging or herniated disks in my neck, I tried *everything*. Driving and sitting at my desk at work were the two worst things for it; hence I quit my job and launched a new career were I could manage my desk time better.<br /><br />The LMT did help, but only lasted a couple of days - acupuncture was the only thing that really touched the pain. I still deal with the injury, but it is manageable because of acupuncture - I recommend you give it a try!kaelahttp://www.localkitchen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-40277115517464978572009-10-25T11:29:26.481-05:002009-10-25T11:29:26.481-05:00Very sorry to hear about your injuries!

I enjoy your recipes and many have become standards in my repetoire since discovering your blog. <br /><br />I'm in complete sympathy re: the pain/injury. I incurred a bad neck injury in a car accident about 5yr ago and was in a lot of distress for a couple yrs. Gradually I got into a serious workout routine that involves some olympic weight lifting, and now I have no pain (except from the working out!). Sure you get quite the workout on the farm, but know the weightlifting helped me enormously. Keep that cookbook coming!Nancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-26593730690788108622009-10-16T07:30:36.709-05:002009-10-16T07:30:36.709-05:00Ouch!

I had no idea you had sustained such an injury. I'm sure lots and lots of people have given you sage advice about what you might do for it, and here I am throwing my two cents into the mix: Like Inag, I suffered for years with cronic back and shoulder pain, trying one therapy after another, getting some relief only to have the pain return, then found an amazing acupuncturist who, I swear, walks on water. I have been pain free from my injuries for the past 3 years. Now, whenever I do something that hurts my body, she is the first person I go to. And I hate needles! :) I hope this helps.Christinehttp://christinecooks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-74073055995344867962009-10-11T05:41:53.188-05:002009-10-11T05:41:53.188-05:00Soo sorry to hear about the neck pain, I know all ...Soo sorry to hear about the neck pain, I know all about that and am currently trying (really hard) to obtain some core strength to overcome the soreness caused by my driving/computer based lifestyle.

Personally only my neck is involved due to the 3.5 hour commute I did for three years plus the hours in front of the computer (I am a technical writer). My symptom was extreme dizziness triggered by neck tension. After trips to my family doctor and an ENT specialist, I found relief with massage therapy. I had to go for therapy once a week for almost a year. I am now going twice a month. I do love the pictures you posted of your home.Charleydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333416883105451842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-17900943381193637292009-10-10T16:40:17.533-05:002009-10-10T16:40:17.533-05:00Your new place is fabulous.

I assume you've tried this already, but if not, please have a few (more than one over a month's time) massage sessions.
