What causes pain and stiffness in the lower back?
Answered by
Heat will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Hot compress using a pad will help in decreasing the muscle stiffness. Avoid using a pillow. Isometric neck and shoulder exercises will help.
Avoiding citrus fruits will not help much. Injections in shoulders are needed only if all other medical treatments fail to provide relief. Local analgesic gel will also help. Do continue with pain killer and muscle relaxant.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

MD I have acquired torticollis a fancy name for a very bad stiff neck! I m in so much pain, it hurts when I swallow. The doctor gave me anti-inflammatory to take twice a day and a muscle relaxer at night. I also have been applying ice to neck. I just started taking meds yesterday. How long will it take for meds to kick in and what do I do about the swallowing?
MD I woke up a few days ago with a very stiff, somewhat painful neck. I m a 68 year old male and do have a history of SBE (not that it matters). The neck is particularly stiff (painful) when I rotate up and down and much less so rotating left to right, although, when I do rotate left to right, I can hear light cracking, which I would interpret as a stiff neck related to a strain. Because of my history of SBE, I m a little concerned. I seem to have perhaps a very low grade fever, but have not taken my temperature. Any reason to be concerned?
