Answer 1

Would recommend: getting this checked at her doctor or the ER or an orthopedist. Sounds like it could be an infection; her doctor should be able to examine her and help her.

Answer 3

Stool softener: Keeping your stool soft by taking fiber and water may help. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless.

Answer 5

Several things : First, try sleeping with one small pillow and use tyjenol or Ibuprofen or Naproxen if no contraindications. If a smoker, stop. Try heat applications and some gentle stretching in a hot shower. Avoid activities that aggravate your neck and avoid prolonged positions.

Myofascial Therapy: Think flesh not bone! wellness is vital to controlling any headache or pain issue. Magnesium is also vital. It will help relax the associated muscles, decrease stress, stabilize sleep and help other meds and therapy to work efficiently. Self or profess massage, chiropractor, yoga, heat, stretching all are needed. My favorite in my practice is acupuncture and myofascial tissue release.
