Brief Answer:
I need more elaboration...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The detail you provided is very short and concise. I am unable to provide any valuable guidance based on details provided yet. However based on your other question, I understand you been suffering with this neck pain for few months now. In this circumstance I would like to know if you had seen a doctor. If not, I will recommend you see one - physician or orthopedician at the earliest. In such cases, it is important to perform X-ray and MRI scan of cervical spine along with some basic blood tests - complete blood count and ESR.

In the meanwhile, you can take pain medication like etoshine MR (etoricoxib + thiocolchicoside) twice a day for 5 days. Continue physiotherapy and exercise. A soft collar that restricts neck movement might benefit you. Discuss with your treating doctor.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
