Hi all, some of these posts sound like they came from me...I have OA in my knee, lower back and getting painful now in my neck, and this is causing severe pain into my head...went through MRI and MRA, C-scan, x-ray and Indocin (with Carafate 1 hr. first for protection) has helped.the knee, back and some in the neck..don't want to take it all the time tho...still causes some ulcer problems. Then a neurologist has me taking Neurontin..only 100 mg. 3 times a day...this helps and sometimes it's all ok, but then sometimes I still have the burning pain and like another post said ...my head feels like it wont' fit onto my hurting neck...but I have another way of saying that too...mine feels like it's broken, with radiating pain into my head, before Neurontin (and I might have to go up...this is not much at 100mg)...even with the Indocin helping the severe pain, I still had burning deep into the left side and still have some...but also then it was this very full feeling on the total left side, from into the brain area, down into the ear area, into the neck, my ear on that side felt like I had a bad ear infection, but I didn't...so the Neurontin has helped that..thanks, for having this forum and these posts.....BobbieB
