Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Stiffness And Soreness In The Neck And Shoulder?
Yesterday afternoon my neck and shoulder was getting stiff and sore. By last night it was very uncomfortable. My left shoulder at the neck and back part of the neck are very sore and stiff. I can turn my head to the right and look down without any real issue but if I look up or try to look left there is a sharp pain and the stiffness prevent that movement. I am putting ICY/Hot patches on the affected area, which offers a little relief but I am unable to sleep with this discomfort. Any suggestions? Thank you
Dear patient you have got neck stiffness because of muscle spasm. Wear soft cervical collar. Start tab myoril 4 mg twice a day with tab ultracet twice a day for pain relief. Hot water fomentation with water bag helps. Use soft pillow with low height. Avoid jerk movements. if not relieved in 5 days please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area.
