OK here is my 2 cents worth: When ever my neck feels different or "worse" I take a large dose of vitimin E. I will NOT tell you that vitimin E is the cure (because I still have a rather big scar smile ) but it seems to help for me. Interesting to note that E is oily. Perhaps Larry is on to something...Of course olive oil is good for you anyway.
