Today I took delivery of a variety of neck braces for sampling purposes. I know what I have said before but the constant neck pain is getting me down so something needed doing. I was wrong before so enjoy it while you can. πx

I have been wearing a soft collar for a couple of hours at a time while I wait for pain relief from the chemist. Out of everything else that has happened to me neck pain is the worst. π’xBulbar started Jan 2020. Mute and 100% tube fed but mobile and undefeated. Stay Strong π€ππ€πxx

I found that soft collars pushed by head forward and just moved the pain further down my spine, so weren't much use, but you might not need as much support as I do.
Rigid cervical collars with chin supports suit me best but I'm not mobile, so not being able to look around much isn't an issue for me - rigid collars with chin support give most support but inhibit much head movement. And, because it has a chin support, it doesn't sit directly on my throat.
This is similar to mine:
