Hi Marty,
I think you should call your neuro this a.m. and tell him/her about your
symptoms. Shooting pains up your neck into your head need prompt medical
evaluation in my opinion.
I have had neck problems for as long as I've had PD. I have taken
Amitriptyline (Elavil), which among its attributes does help with neck pain
and is the reason it was prescribed for me. For years, I took 25 mg nightly;
currently I take 50 mg nightly. I also wear a neck brace when in a car, and
occasionally at other times.
For the last few years, I have had weekly massages by a massage therapist
with special attention paid to my neck. Heat also seems to help some.

I have developed in the past month or so the worst stiff neck I have ever
had. It has come on gradually, but is definitely something I cannot deal
with much longer. I get shooting pains up the back of my head when I turn my
head a certain way and trying to lie down in bed is very pauinful.
Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do?
Please - any suggestions are welcome!!!
Marty
