Hi,
I've had cervical spondylitis for about a year. My head and neck want to fall off. Espically at night. It's very painful. Can't take ibprofen(you're lucky). I'm allergic so my options are limited. Try using a u shaped neck pillow like you see at gift shops in airports to sleep on. Helpful. Also a sock full of white rice. Heat in micro for 2min. or freeze. Feels great.God luck.

I too have been told I have spondylitis, which too makes me feel like my head is ready to fall off. I have a constant popping in my neck, which has been going on for a year now and pain only getting worse. I had an MRI and it showed that I have a disk popping out of joint everytime I move my head. Seen a few Doctors and finally got into a specialist at Boston Medical. I am having cervical fushion in two weeks, The doc said that If I don't have it done things will only get worse as time goes on. He is a spinal specialist. I am scared but was told I would have instant relief and I am not going to loose any more mobility then I have already. Search for the right Doctor and you too may get relief!! Good luck!

I am surprised to hear that you have not been able to find anything better than Ibuprofen to treat your pain. What alternatives have you tried?
