My pain is very bad laying down and wakes me several times a night when I move or turn . When I am doing certain things like cooking or preparing a meal on computer reading etc and my head is downward, I feel it is very hard and painfully to left my head sometimes I need to use my hands to help me raise my head up .. Pushing a groceries cart can case me so much neck pain and shoulder pain. I have been told it s all mussel pain and need to excercise but I can barely turn my head. Please advise. Oh and I have used heat and cold to help relieve pain to little or no avail. Do not like to take medication unless pain is unmanageable tops would be Tynol 3 please advise will try anything
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, apart from the medicine condition can be best managed with physiotherapy and relaxation therapy, try to maintain good posture, if this is spinal degenerative disease then it may some time need some surgical intervention, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
