I have had torticollis for over 6 years. Treatment started with steroid, then Botox injections in the neck. This treatment did not work. Have also tried muscle relaxants and tramadol to no avail. I even had surgery to correct twisting along with the herniated cervical discs. My vertebrae do not grind on each other, but I still have pain and twisting. I am so tired of people asking me what's wrong with my neck.

I was diagnosed with this today and I was in such agony it got to the point that I couldn't walk without crying in pain. I was given small amounts of diazepam, codeine phosphate, and tramadol.

Over a year of trigger injections in neck & shoulder every 3 to 4 weeks...ongoing spasms and radiating pain in jaw, arm, and back...so tired of it.

My mom has had this for years, she has had the Botox injections before but had to stop them because she has no insurance and they are expensive.

I know of an extreme case of torticollis in a ten month old that had suffered from birth. One visit to a chiropractor corrected the severe condition and allowed the baby and parents to have a normal life. Up until this time, the baby could not sleep lying down and the mother could not breast feed the child without being in an awkward position.

I was prescribed a muscle relaxant flexeril and then finished off the last bit of pain with a couple of days of Celebrex...after two and a half weeks of pain... relief!

I have had about 20 adjustments and my extremely stiff and sore neck does not seem to be getting better. They are very, very painful adjustments. I have had this condition now for about six weeks. I think it was caused by a fall I took about two months ago, which ended in a forward roll. I am more than 75 years of age and otherwise in good health.

My chiropractor got me fixed up. I wonder why chiros weren't listed under treatments. Sure was worth it for me.

I have spasmodic torticollis, dysphasia and tremor. I've been treated with Botox in both vocals and shoulder. Now I just take Valium, for Tremor and Vicodin and massage therapy for pain. Nothing really works but it does ease me thru my work day.

I got a valium injection.

What helped me was my CHIROPRACTOR!

I received Botox injections for over eight years without any side effects. This past May I received Botox injections and I developed dysphagia. It got so bad that I could not swallow my own saliva. When I would swallow my saliva would go down my windpipe. A PEG tube was inserted so that I could feed myself. I don't think I have been more afraid in my life. I had to feed myself through a tube for one and half months. The effects of the Botox have worn off almost completely in the last 2 months. Be forewarned that this be can a serious side effect. Botox has relieved the chronic pain I had for years, but now some alternative needs to be found because I am not going to be injected for some time.

I was given 1 shot of Medrol, and a shot of Lidocaine in the shoulder. I was prescribed Soma as a muscle relaxant, and I felt great the next day. I did use ice and heat after the shots.

I was treated with Diazepam 5MG for my torticollis; cold and hot packs. Flexibility improved daily, but the use of an air travel neck pillow seem to provide additional relief. I utilized Ibuprofen along with the Diazepam. Chest tightness seems to accompany my neck pain and lack of range of motion.
