My neck and back went into spasm on Friday. It hurt to lay down. It hurt to stand up. I wanted to cry, so I did. These are the holistic/western medicine methods I used to try and ease the pain:
* yoga
* cold compresses
* self-chiropractic
* hot compresses
* acetamenephen
* chi gong
* ibuprofin
* valerian + kava kava
* tiger balm
* an hour and a half massage from a cute guy who was willing to do a barter
* meditation
This is what finally worked:
* a half bottle of saki, chugged straight out of the bottle.
