Pain is holding me back!

Earlier this week I was diagnosed with sciatica which I pretty much know but needed to see the dr to see where to go from here. Well that's feeling much better but this morning I woke up for the 2nd day in a row with excruciating neck pain! I mean moving my head more that 10 degrees in any direction kills! Other than meds, ice/heat anyone else have suggestions.... also....my exercise has come to a complete stand still this week because of both issues. I'm becoming very discouraged and have been soothing myself with food. Ugh!!!! I was doing so well with working out and jogging as well as 20+ massages a week. Any ideas as to how to stay motivated? I'm feeling down, in pain and discouraged. I'm trying all the tricks I know but I'm always looking for other suggestions.....

Thanks,
Ang
