From All Of Yesterday (thursday) To Now (3:00 Am Friday)
Question: From all of yesterday (thursday) to now (3:00 am Friday) I have been experiencing neck pain only on the right side when i turn my head and also when I drink water. The best way i can describe it is that it’s the part of my neck that connects my head to the body and runs straight down almost into my collarbone. I don’t think it’s swollen but I just wanted to see if this was something serious
Brief Answer:
Possibly due to muscle spasm
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concern. Going by the description it seems that you have developed a muscle spasm. In such a case using some muscle relaxant (prescription medicine) or at least a pain medication like ibuprofen (OTC) for a couple of days should provide relief. Static neck exercises (check youtube videos for demonstration) can help.
For more, you would need to be examined clinically and I would insist you to visit a doctor for the same.
