Brief Answer:
It is a muscular spasm and needs proper care and treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you to my virtual clinic HCM!
I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

You have got moderate to severe neck and shoulder muscular spasm. It is very common disease in this age group. Sometimes a tension headache also accounts for and add up to the situation.

First of all keep a healthy diet and a good night's sleep. Reconsider the pillow height and softness quality of the pillows. Your mattress also matters a lot for the rest to be assured.

Plenty of fluids and clean drinking water and meditation/yoga and aerobics will help you a lot. Steam bath and Sauna is also helpful for stiff muscles once after a couple of weeks.

Medications:-
Apply Bengay Ultra Stretch Gel on all the affected areas and massage gently. Then apply ThermaCare HeatWraps for neck and shoulder. It is a dramatic remedy for you to get better in no time. It will relieve the muscular tension and spasms and gives soothing effects to the tendons also. It helps re-circulate blood and provide proper nutrition to the muscles and flushes the wastes in muscles.

Take Excedrin Extra Strength twice daily for a complete week and don't miss any dose.


Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you in no time. If satisfied here, please give a generous five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
For any disease you have, a timely follow-up after sometime regarding the treatment efficacy and to see any need to change the treatment options is very necessary. Keep a follow up some days after this visit session ends.


Regards!
