Black out pain

I never thought this was possible but last Saturday, I took my dog to the vet. While on leash, he got excited and tugged at it.  This sent such jarring pain through my whole neck that I blacked out for a second. 

Last Friday was crazy intense for me, I had to go for a meeting where I had to bring my laptop along.  Because I was already experiencing such pain in my back and neck, just getting to the meeting was a great challenge.  The flare up came back with a vengeance since I stopped Arcoxia since the previous Saturday.  By last Saturday, I was in tremendous pain, where every single movement hurt, from turning to walking to breathing to anything.  Every friend and stranger asked me I'm ok, they could see the pain on my face. 

So by Saturday afternoon, I popped an Arcoxia 90mg. Better but not gone.  Been taking the arcoxia 90mg these past 5 days but still feel the pain through it.  Rheumy upped me to a 120mg dose to take daily for 28days.  Seems drastic.  Wondering if there's any way I can avoid that?

Haven't started taking it... Will see how things go.
