After a riding injury, the best advice I had was from a GP - she recommended a sports physiotherapist who sorted out torn ligaments and swollen tissues.Kev_n_Liz said:Have you tried a good massage? you might have a trapped nerve.

For the record, diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, very good, but not without its side effects:framptoncottrell said:After a riding injury, the best advice I had was from a GP - she recommended a sports physiotherapist who sorted out torn ligaments and swollen tissues.Kev_n_Liz said:Have you tried a good massage? you might have a trapped nerve.

Get the name of your local physio from your GP.
Physios cannot prescribe painkillers but they can make suggestions that you can carry back to your GP. For the record I was on a powerful painkiller called Tramadol and a muscle relaxant called Diclofenac. The physio also recommended a TENS machine which was wonderful, but might not be appropriate for neck pain.

Thank you Pusser,Pusser said:Tiger Balm is very good. I first came across this out in Singers but I believe then it was banned from UK as it contained opium. Then you could find it in the odd Asian cornershop and now it is widespread.
However, although this should work well if you keep putting this on day after day your skin will come off. And also if you keep getting it then there is something that needs fixing as alluded to in the post above me. You might have to see a cairo who is practicing or perhaps a fizzy O or Suzie Wong who only works from 20:00 until 02:00 and can be contacted at number 69 Bugis Street. 8)

Ha! I remember Bugis Street. I also remember a bunch of sailors on the next table and a young sailor - obviously a rookie - being taken in by a beautiful he/she. Off went the sailor to who knows where, probably some seedy room or corner - his mates were cracked up laughing - sadly we left before the return of the rookie. His face would have been a picture!
Those were the days!

A digression: it is also the drug that is being used illegally around the world on cattle - it is fatal to vultures. It is causing all sort of problems in parts of the world where many vultures have died as a result of dining on dead cattle containing traces of diclofenac.MrsW said:For the record, diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, very good, but not without its side effects.
