Acupuncture and exercise are good for old cervical disc shoulder pain.

Having sat at a desk and faced a computer or books for over 20 years, I developed a herniated disc in my neck long ago. Even when I rest, I often sit at my desk with my head bowed, so I can't help it. I have been visiting orthopedic clinics for a long time, receiving traction and manual therapy... I have suffered from pain for a very long time. My shoulders and arms also tingle, and my neck is stuck to one side and immobile, so I tried injections, muscle relaxants, and received prescriptions, as well as massages, daily stretching, and I changed my pillow several times. I have tried everything.

After trying various methods, I think consistently exercising was more helpful.

Recently, I also prepared a milk pillow that is said to be good for neck disc issues, and I am trying to sleep in the correct posture. After all, posture while sleeping is also important.

After stretching and exercising, I also use massage devices. The Slim Neck Comfort Care and Kim Suja Massage Device are cost-effective options. On days when I sleep poorly, work excessively, or feel a lot of pain, I take painkillers like muscle relaxants or apply patches. Still, I try to reduce medication as much as possible. I believe living healthily and without pain is the best.
