I have a degenerative disk in my neck so I know somewhat of the pain you speak! I went for physiotherapy on and off, and continued to be in pain, for 15 years before finding my way to a good masseuse (expensive!) and taking up (believe it or not because I am just 86 pounds!), with the assistance of a good trainer (very expensive!), weight lifting!
I still have limited mobility in my neck, but I am no longer in pain (although I guess the potential is always there because the X-rays show I have arthritis in my neck).
During the 15 years of neck misery I had to endure the pain without pain killers because I couldn't tolerate the medication. In the end, I had to seek the expensive non-chemical solution (in the form of massage and weight lifting). Thankfully I haven't been back to the physiotherapist for my neck problem in two years now!
