Suggest Treatment For Dull Pain In The Side Of The Neck

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
After reviewing your data I would like to say that the pain shouldn't be related to ARB side effects. Most likely the pain is related to rheumatologic issues.
If you were my patient I would recommend:
- to use hot bags
- to apply locally Volfast cream
- to do spinal cord x ray examinations
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
