I admit it, I've been fretting about my neck. Not in the Nora Ephron wrinkles and sag sense (ok, maybe a bit/lot of that). But a few months ago, it began aching, intrusively. Occasionally it has been Voltarol-worthy. I should have done something about it years ago. Every masseur/facialist I've ever encountered has juddered to a halt when they reached my neck. "My Gaaad, it's like rock/stone/wood/concrete . I assumed everyone who sits at a computer or has a smart phone has a traumatised neck.
