Hey Old, sorry to hear about the pain. I know alot of fellers on here, you included are older than me (Be 42 in Feb.) so ya'll have had alot more time to deal with the pain than I have. Even so I've had artheritis in my neck since I was in my early twenties when I was in the Navy. Back then they gave me some sort of muscle relaxer to help out but those didn't work but a while. Eventually I just got to the point that I put it out of my mind and try to ignore it. It really only bothere me when I'm driving and holding my head still for an extended period of time. It got to the point one time some years back that I couldn't turn my head so I went to a chiropractor He did pretty good for me. He got me to doing neck exercises under a hot shower (to help build up my muscles so they could take part of the load I guess) and he got me started sleeping with an orthopedic pillow. That was the thing I needed most and it works great and has definately helped me sleep better at night. Without the pillow I am miserable all night and hurt like he!! the next day. Nowdays I ache to some degree 99.999% of the time but I just deal with it and take the occasional aspirin or Aleve on a bad day. Other than that nothing has ever worked. Now on top of the neck I'm starting to feel a little in m y shoulders so I guess a few years I'll be talking to the doc about something a little stronger to keep me going all day. At least right now it's all usually managable with sheer willpower and it also helps to look at it in a positive light in the respect that as long as I ache I'm still alive and kicking. Good luck with the VA, pain is really impossible to disprove but a b!tch to prove and the cause ain't always easy to track down.
