I had a radical neck disection on May 22nd 2008. I have chronic pain in my shoulder and arm - and sick of taking the narcotic pain medication.
My surgeon didnt seem to believe that i could or should have any pain after this surgury - he is of no help in this area at all.
My primary care Dr. suggested I begin taking LYRICA - I've been taking 50mg 3x a day for about 2 weeks now and it does seem to help. I do still find days that i feel I need something else like advil and that seems to help in addition to the lyrica. However LYRICA takes a while to perform the full benefits - weeks sometimes as I've read. So maybe there is hope!
Lyrica does help but doesnt completely relieve the pain- and after all of the research I have done looking for an answer to the relief of the chronic pain in my shoulder - I would do anything to have just one pain free day.............

Where can you buy a neck pillow?
Possibly Wal-mart, but I would check any store related to travel. They usually sell neck pillows because there are many people who travel by airplane and either have neck problems or just want a comfortable pillow. Another great place to buy neck pillows is at the Neck Pain Relief Shop. They have fiber neck pillows, contoured neck pillows, water neck pillows, traction neck pillows, and foam neck pillows. Especially if you suffer from neck pain, stiff neck, numbness and tingling or aches in the neck- consider a specialty cervical pillow. Wal-mart is good too, but you will only get the flat neck pillow, which is not always the best choice if you have neck pain.
