How Can Pain In The Lower Back And Neck Be Treated?
Hello! I m a 69 yr. old active, retired teacher, in excellent health, however, 3 yrs. ago I was diagnosed with stress-related hemi facial spasms. I have been receiving Botox treatments around my eyes, which relieves the twitching for a few months. Recently, my lower back and neck have been hurting (probably due to yard work and golf - normal activities) and my right eye has been twitching more than ever. I have been waking up from a good night s sleep (and naps) with a dull headache too. A chiropractor friend of mine said that I might have a pinched nerve. I d appreciate any direction you could give me. Thank you.
