Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Taking pain-killers such as ibuprofen and muscle relaxants are a temporary solution. Permanent relief would depend on accurate diagnosis and correct treatment.

This would require getting an MRI of cervical spine done. Please get back with the report.

Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
