Muscle Spasm

Detailed Answer:

Hello.
Delighted to be able to help.

For the symptoms that you refer a possible diagnosis is cervical muscle spasm causing pain, stiffness and limitation of movement.

I treat my patients with Aceclofenac 100 mg twice a day when muscle spasm is the diagnosis. Apply heat on the neck too can relieve your symptoms. Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.

Taking the drugs, usually symptoms improves in a few days. If 15 days after starting treatment with drugs your symptoms persist, it is recommended to make a cervical radiography.

I Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. If you do not have any clarifications, please don’t forget to evaluate my answer.

I wish you good health.
