Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The stiffness and pain that you are having is due to the gradually increasing degenerative changes in your cervical spine. In addition to the regular physiotherapy, oral muscle relaxants are also required for proper relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
