Pain in the neck!!

I have been having severe pain in my neck and shoulders. We went to the orthopedic doctor yesterday and they took x-rays. I have arthritis in my neck and the 4th 5th and 6th vertebra are basically fused. There is not much that can be done except heat, light massage to relieve the spasms and then cold. I have to be careful taking Advil because I am on so much predisone. Hopefully when the spasms subside I will feel better. It is really exhausting with this pain. Other than that all is well here.
