Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly thanks for using HealthcareMagic site , I had gone through your question and understand your concerns .. I hope you feel better soon usually pain increases with age , weight , bad sitting and sleeping postures , heavy weighing , vigorous movements . Try to avoid such exercises and follow on your physiotherapy and neck and spinal stretching exercises are of very good value . hot massages are relieving you may follow up with a good chiropractor is fine in most of the cases . In more moderate to severe cases painkillers like advil tabs when needed , topical anti-inflammatory gels , muscle relaxants and vitamin B supplementation is effective . If pain persists X ray and MRI scan on spine and follow up with your neurologist for proper evaluation and management .
