Does anyone know any exercises etc that can help relieve pain and symptoms radiating from degenerated cervical discs.

Oh, but it sucks to get old in some ways while in other ways its GREAT

Hey Karman. I have pain in both the cervical and lumbar areas of my spine also. I guess 20+ years of playing Rugby and 35+ years of skiing, dirt biking, hunting, and everything else has taken a toll. A neighbour of mine had one of the "Inverter" beds and used it often. I found that anything that took the weight off my spine provided instant relief. Lacking one of the inverter beds, maybe try making a harness of some sort to hold your head, tie it to a bed post or something similar and then slowly slide away until a little tension is relieved from your neck. I'll bet it'll help.

I appreciate your last comment about getting old. Yes, at times it does suck but when I look at the huge handicap the inexperience of youth is, especially of the youth of today, I wouldn't trade life experience for youth...not at all!
